A plot to assassinate a Supreme Court Justice. A coma victim hiding secrets.
Entrepreneur Ben Johnson has spent forty years loving a woman the world can never know about. Acadia LaFleur — matriarch of Louisiana's most powerful political family. Now she's in a life-threatening coma, the victim of a savage home invasion, and Ben can't call the police.
All he can do is call his old friend, homicide detective Dimase Augustin.
What Dimase uncovers in Louisiana twists the knife deeper. A second Acadia LaFleur — young, desperate, and running from something that reaches all the way to Washington DC — has turned up brutally murdered in her mother's rural home. Two women. Same name. Both silenced. It can't be random.
As Dimase pulls at the threads, a conspiracy of staggering proportions emerges — corrupt politicians, rogue FBI agents, and a plot to assassinate a sitting Supreme Court justice.
Could a ruthless criminal seize control of the nation's highest court?
