Mike Ford just landed his dream job at the Davies Group after graduating from Harvard Law School. The firm represents Washington's most powerful consulting operation, giving Ford access to the inner circle of five hundred players who truly control the capital and the world beyond it. But Ford's privileged position quickly turns deadly when two dangerous enemies target him. To survive, he must resurrect skills from his criminal past that he thought he had left behind. Ford starts stealing again, lying to those around him, and deceiving everyone he encounters. The stakes climb higher as he realizes he may need to kill to save his own life. His legal education never prepared him for this kind of warfare. The higher Ford climbs within Washington's secret hierarchy, the more treacherous his path becomes. One wrong move could mean not just professional ruin but death itself.
