Amanda Jaffe was a rising star in Portland's legal community until her well publicized battle with a brilliant sociopath--ironically the trial that made her famous--left her traumatized, filled with self-doubt, and wary of the limelight. But now she's agreed to handle a case no one else will touch. Her client, Jon Dupre, runs an upscale call-girl service and stands accused of murdering a high-profile U.S. senator. To Amanda, Dupre's story of an ultra-secret society of extremely powerful, dangerous, politically motivated men sounds like a criminal's desperate attempt to escape justice. But suddenly too many important people are pressuring her to drop the case . . . and too many people are dying. But Amanda will not surrender again to her fear. To get her life back, she'll follow this deadly juggernaut of an investigation wherever it leads her: to the graveyard, into the depths of hell . . . or to the highest office in the land.
