    • Still reeling from the trauma of a near nuclear explosion at the naval base in Coronado, San Diego defense attorney Paul Madriani now finds he's been linked to the murder of a Washington, D.C., political staffer.

      New York Times bestselling master of suspense Steve Martini returns, ensnaring defense attorney Paul Madriani in a web of terror and death being spun in the shadows of America's most sacred and secretive institution—the Supreme Court. A writer is savagely slain while on a publicity tour—a literary provocateur who craved headlines, but whose last book may have gone too far. His revelations about secret language buried in the U.S. Constitution—and hints about an explosive missing letter of Thomas Jefferson's—may be enough to cause an irreparable tear in the fabric of the nation . . . and perhaps drove a volatile youth to homicide. But Paul Madriani thinks a troubled young man with dark connections has been chosen as a scapegoat to cover up something far deadlier that festers in America's political heart. And in the wake of the strange disappearance of a Supreme Court judge, Madriani must survive long enough to find the devastating answers hidden in the shadow of power.

Jocelyn "Joss" Cole, a weary public defender from Los Angeles, seeks solace in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. Her only notable case involves a group of commercial fishermen afflicted by a mysterious illness that defies medical explanation, which Joss suspects is linked to industrial activities. Suddenly, Dean Belden, a wealthy entrepreneur, approaches her for legal assistance in establishing a business in the islands. Shortly after, Belden is summoned before a federal grand jury. Tragically, he dies in a catastrophic float plane explosion on Seattle's Lake Union just after his testimony, leaving Joss in the dark about the grand jury proceedings. Meanwhile, Gideon Van Ry, a nuclear fission expert at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, California, grapples with the unsettling disappearance of two tactical nuclear devices from a former Soviet storage facility. These weapons were last known to be packed for shipment to Belden Electronics, a company Gideon cannot trace. His only lead points to Joss Cole, the attorney who incorporated the elusive firm, intertwining their fates in a web of intrigue and danger.
