Více o knize

When Oklahoma attorney Ben Kincaid arrives in Washington, D.C., to defend a senator embroiled in a scandal-turned-murder case, he never anticipates being appointed to complete the senator’s term. As he navigates his new political role, he faces the challenge of advising the president’s next Supreme Court nominee, Judge Thaddeus Roush, whose bipartisan popularity seems to ensure an easy confirmation. However, Roush's decision to come out on national television ignites a political firestorm, leading to a fierce partisan battle. In a desperate attempt to manage the fallout, Ben organizes a press conference for the now-controversial judge, only for the event to take a dark turn when a murdered woman is found in Roush’s backyard. This shocking development provides ammunition for those seeking to derail the nomination of a gay Supreme Court Justice. With the backing of the president and a new candidate poised to take Roush's place, the senate majority leader and his allies launch a ruthless smear campaign. Determined to protect the nominee, Ben employs his courtroom tactics while his private investigator, Loving, delves into the underbelly of the capital to uncover the truth. In this gripping tale, political intrigue and legal suspense intertwine with unexpected twists and sharp wit.
