Hugh Mahoney, the most powerful plaintiff’s attorney in America, takes on a wrongful death case that looks like an easy win. But he underestimates the powerful, corporate corruption stacked solidly against him.

Public defender Kathryn Andrews won’t rest until she gets justice for her late husband. But to stand a chance against the giant pharmaceutical company responsible, she’s hiring expensive legal muscle. And she’s also determined that the dirty secrets of her marriage never see the light of day.

Hugh’s fees are as formidable as his success rate. But even his reputation can’t help him with a widow who opposes him from day one and is clearly hiding crucial information. And if he can’t get her to open up, this high-profile case could destroy his lucrative career.

But when a deep dive into discovery unearths a widespread conspiracy of death, their client-attorney privilege could become the only thing keeping them alive.

Can they fight for justice against a corrupt power that will kill to impose silence?
