Book description
When Sydney Chaplin left D. C. nine years ago for college, she vowed
never to return. But when her sister is found brutally murdered, she
finds herself drawn once again into the shadowy web of her wealthy,
powerful family. Joined by Washington detectives Jack Cassian and Darius
Train, and driven by her need to know the truth about her sister's
death, Sydney will risk everything - her life and her family's future -
to find the answers. From the gritty streets and crack dens of the
District's inner city, to the posh country clubs and gilded offices of
the nation's political elite, Sydney, Cassian, and Train must slip deep
into a labyrinth of money, power, and deceit to uncover a decades-old
conspiracy that could rock the nation. David Hosp is a trial lawyer
who spends a portion of his time working pro bono on behalf of wrongly
convicted individuals. He finds time to write his novels on his daily
commute by boat across Boston harbour. He lives with his wife and family
in the city.
