Description

A driven Massachusetts district attorney launches an ambitious new initiative designed to give her an advantage in the race for governor, but the program soon draws her into a dangerous and politically charged investigation. At its center is Monique Lamont, a fierce and determined feminist whose pursuit of power is matched by her willingness to challenge convention. A Massachusetts state investigator is called back from Knoxville, Tennessee, where he is completing training at the National Forensic Academy, to help unravel a case filled with peril and high-stakes consequences. Blending forensic detail, political intrigue, and suspense, the novel explores ambition, justice, and the risks of seeking influence in a world where every decision can become a liability.
