A legal and political crime thriller in which a big-city district attorney takes on a case linking a presidential hopeful to a murdered tech executive. Tense suspense of blackmail, hidden surveillance, political ambition and betrayal from within. Power makes enemies, and not all of them announce themselves. Newly re-elected, San Francisco District Attorney Amanda Hawthorne should be at the height of her authority. Instead, she is pulled into a volatile case when a senior tech executive accuses a presidential candidate of sexual assault, only to be found murdered days later in his own home. Working with Detective Tommy Vietti, Amanda is forced to navigate a case where sex, consent, and political ambition collide under intense public scrutiny. As evidence points toward blackmail and hidden surveillance within Silicon Valley's elite, the investigation unexpectedly spirals out of control while becoming increasingly dangerous to pursue. The pressure does not stop at the Hall of Justice. Amanda's private life is targeted, her credibility tested, and her office destabilized from within. Someone close to her is watching, waiting, and driven by a very personal motive. In a city where influence outweighs truth, Amanda must decide how far she is willing to go to protect justice, her career, and the people she loves.
