Char in a Barrel

She's drawn there by a crisis pending on the 16th floor of the resort hotel in which Darren O'Connor's office is located

Raphaella Sortiz, a stunning 17-year old, former part-time hotel housekeeper, is perched on a ledge threatening to take her own life

She's pregnant and the media has turned the situation into a cause célèbre

Hannah incidentally uncovers circumstantial evidence that leads her to strongly suspect her husband may be more to Raphaella than just her former employer

Hannah, an attorney by trade, utilizes her intuition, intellect and professional skills to badger, question and manipulate Darren into telling the truth
