Plot summary
Detective Goren and Bishop are called to examine the murder of a wealthy patriarch who was bludgeoned to death. The investigation is focused in a family list of suspects which includes the victim's soon-to-be ex-wife, the nanny who cared for the couple's adopted Romanian sons, as well the suspicious aunt and uncle of the children. After Goren goes deeper into the family's past, his only hope of sorting out the clutter of possible killers is to call for a family reunion, which takes place in a courtroom.
