520    "A Washington, D.C. lawyer and a frequent major media 
       commentator on the Supreme Court, Anthony Franze delivers 
       a high-stakes story of family, power, loss and revenge set
       within the insular world of the highest court of our 
       country. Among Washington D.C. power players, everyone has
       secrets they desperately want to keep hidden, including 
       Sean Serrat, a Supreme Court lawyer. Sean transformed his 
       misspent youth into a model adulthood, and now has one of 
       the most respected legal careers in the country. But just 
       as he learns he's on the short list to be nominated to the
       U.S. Supreme Court, his daughter, Abby, a talented and 
       dedicated law student, goes missing. Abby's lifeless body 
       is soon found in the library of the Supreme Court, and her
       boyfriend, Malik Montgomery, a law clerk at the high court,
       is immediately arrested. The ensuing media frenzy leads to
       allegations that Malik's arrest was racially motivated, 
       sparking a national controversy. While the Serrat family 
       works through their grief, Sean begins to suspect the 
       authorities arrested the wrong person. Delving into the 
       mysteries of his daughter's last days, Sean stumbles over 
       secrets within his own family as well as the lies of some 
       of the most powerful people in the country. People who 
       will stop at nothing to ensure that Sean never exposes the
       truth"--|cProvided by publisher.
