Dana Cutler receives a quiet call to investigate when a Supreme Court justice suffers a mysterious attack. The timing troubles her. Sarah Woodruff sits on death row in Oregon for killing her lover John Finley, and her appeal has reached the high court just as a prominent justice resigns. Dana searches for connections between the Woodruff case and the violence targeting the justices. Her investigation leads back to a deadly shootout on a small freighter in Shelby, Oregon. The entire crew died except for one man who called himself John Finley. Working alongside Brad Miller and Keith Evans, Dana discovers a conspiracy within American intelligence circles. The plot reaches the highest levels of government and involves the president's own Supreme Court nominee. The trio faces lethal danger as they race to expose the truth before more justices fall victim to the scheme.
