USA Today Best-Selling Author High-stakes politics and the rivalry between two powerful women in the trial of the century Legendary defense attorney Raquel Rematti represents a presidential candidate--and former First Lady of an ISIS-assassinated President--Senator Angelina Baldesteri in the most watched and explosive trial of the 21st Century. The Senator, a Democrat, sees it as a vendetta show trial orchestrated by the current Republican U.S. President, his Republican Attorney General, and an ambitious Republican United States Attorney in Manhattan. At the trial, a year before the election, the Senator faces charges of election fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering; each of which could deem her unfit for office and all but remove her from the Presidential race. As the dramatic trial unfolds, Raquel steadily realizes that the Senator has a hidden trail of lies which she has fought hard to keep from the light of day including a series of complicated and illicit connections. As Raquels complex, conflicted relationship with her client begins to gradually endanger herself, she must decide whether to face the recurrent dangers or allow her life and the lives of those she loves to be threatened.
