At the top of his class at Harvard Law, he had his choice
of the best in America. He made a deadly mistake. When Mitch
McDeere signed on with Bendini, Lambert & Locke of Memphis,
he thought he and his beautiful wife, Abby, were on their way.
The firm leased him a BMW, paid off his school loans, arranged
a mortgage and hired him a decorator. Mitch McDeere should have
remembered what his brother Ray -- doing fifteen years in a Tennessee
jail -- already knew. You never get something for nothing. Now
the FBI has the lowdown on Mitch's firm and needs his help. Mitch
is caught between a rock and a hard place, with no choice --
if he wants to live.

dynamite. Suddenly Darby is witness to a murder -- a murder intended
for her. Going underground, she finds there is only one person
she can trust -- an ambitious reporter after a news break hotter
than Watergate -- to help her piece together the deadly puzzle.
Somewhere between the bayous of Louisiana and the White House's
inner sanctums, a violent cover-up is being engineered. For someone
has read Darby's brief. Someone who will stop at nothing to destroy
the evidence of an unthinkable crime.
