From the bestselling author of Keeping Counsel and the acclaimed Character Witness, comes another compelling novel of legal suspense -- an explosive thriller in the tradition of John Grisham and Nancy Taylor Rosenberg.
Stunning, savvy LA attorney Lauren Kingsley has just been handed the opportunity of a lifetime -- to prosecute a militia terrorist responsible for the devastating bombing of an IRS building. This case is Lauren's chance to prove to her longtime friend and mentor, Judge Wilson Caufeld, that she's got what it takes to succeed in the high-stakes world of the judicial system. But when Caufeld is found shot to death, Lauren is suddenly in over her head -- trapped in a maze of conspiracy, corruption, and secrets leading right up to the U.S. Supreme Court. Caught in the middle of a fierce tug-of-war between an FBI agent with his own agenda and a colleague whose loyalty is highly questionable, Lauren must decide whom she can trust before she becomes the next mark of a vicious killer.
