About This Book

A district attorney racing for re-election pursues the murderer of a crucial witness while navigating party machines, suspected police corruption, and personal obligations to powerful allies. The inquiry produces many misleading leads and covert pressures that threaten both the legal case and the prosecutor’s public standing. A sudden anonymous promise to deliver a revealing letter pulls the office into a high-stakes maneuver that tests loyalties, exposes the interplay of family influence and political patronage, and forces courtroom duties to compete with campaign survival and the search for justice.
