Holotrial

New York State has adopted a program in which trials are pre-recorded as holograms, or "Holotrials," then played for the jurors later. Adam Simons, a widowed Buffalo trial lawyer and law professor, goes against his rule of representing friends, and takes on a Holotrial involving the death of an infant girl in the explosion of a cutting-edge hydrogen-powered car. Adam must not only prove that the manufacturer is liable, contrary to the opinions of all the experts, he also has to avoid emotional entanglements with an old flame and the brilliant law student assisting him. Turns out, the speaks for itself case isn't a slam dunk, as treachery and conspiracy abound among car competitors, mobsters, and his clients. The case haunts him in a whirlwind of twists and turns toward a truth he could not have imagined.
