Jon Soliday is head counsel to Senator Grant Tully, his best friend from childhood. Grant is also running for Governor and leaning on Jon for advice. They could knock his competitor out of the water with a technicality Jon uncovered. Should they or shouldn’t they?

A lawyer Jon is asking advice regarding this matter is murdered. Jon is found at the scene and is indicted for his murder. This is not unfamiliar territory for Jon because he and Grant have been in this same situation years before. And this man’s murder is somehow connected to that very situation. Jon struggles to defend himself while not bringing up a past that even he is not too sure about.

I thought this was a pretty good book and couldn’t wait to find out what really happened at that long ago party where a girl died. But the real shocker came at the end when I found out who what I thought was a minor character, really was.
