Synopsis:
Defending
an innocent young man, defense attorney Paul Madriani uncovers a morass
of corruption and greed that leads to the highest levels of political
power in this electrifying tale of suspense from New York Times
bestselling author Steve Martini.
One
of the most successful lawyers in the country, Olinda Serna is a master
at managing money as well as her influential clients. After years of
fierce combat in the political trenches, Serna knows all the dirty
secrets, where the bodies are buried, and how deeply they are stacked.
When she’s killed in a roadside crash in the high desert of Southern
California, powerful heads in Washington begin to panic, worried that
their secrets may not be safe anymore.
Alex
Ives, a friend of Paul Madriani’s daughter, is accused of vehicular
manslaughter in Serna’s death. Ives claims he had only one drink on the
night of the accident, yet he can’t remember anything between the time
he left for a party north of San Diego and the moment he woke up in a
hospital the next morning. He’s still dazed and a little bruised, but
also obviously very afraid. After all, a woman is dead, and he’s sure he
didn't kill her.
To
save an innocent young man’s life, the brilliant defense attorney must
uncover everything he can about Serna and her clients—no matter how
unsavory—a search that will lead him into a vortex of corruption, and at
its center, a devious killer poised to strike again.
