Carmen's Journey

David Magen, a semiretired lawyer, takes on the case of Carmen, a sixteen-year-old charged with prostitution. As the investigation unfolds, he and Carmen encounter corruption in the court system, in the police force, and are drawn into a web of conspiracy on conspiracy. Carmen's street smarts and Magen's long legal experience help them weave them through a maze of corrupt characters in Philadelphia as buried evidence crops up at each turn. First the juvenile court judge, who is Carmen's unknown john, then the bar selling recreational drugs impel the two into a morass of conspiracy and murder.
