Genre:
It was nothing more than a one-night stand. Juliana Brody
a judge in the Superior Court of Massachusetts
is rumored to be in consideration for the federal circuit
maybe someday the highest court in the land. At a conference in a Chicago hotel
she meets a gentle
vulnerable man and in a moment of weakness has an unforgettable night with him. They part with an explicit understanding that this must never happen again. But back home in Boston
it becomes clear that this was no random encounter. The man from Chicago proves to have an integral role in a case she's presiding over--a sex-discrimination case that's received national attention. Juliana discovers that she's been entrapped
her night of infidelity captured on video. Strings are being pulled in high places
a terrifying unfolding conspiracy that will turn her life upside down. But soon it becomes clear that personal humiliation
even the possible destruction of her career
are the least of her concerns
as her own life and the lives of her family are put in mortal jeopardy. In the end
turning the tables on her adversaries will require her to be as ruthless as they are.
