Maya Reeves thought exposing Senator Vance would end the conspiracy. She was wrong.
When a former Supreme Court Justice is murdered in her Georgetown home, the official story is natural causes—complications from pancreatic cancer. But Maya receives an encrypted message that changes everything: The Justice Dividend demands its due.
The Justice Dividend isn't a person. It's a system.
