Just when Mike was beginning to wonder why they were watching the video, Lucas froze the camera image. From the dead silence in the room, they all knew they were looking at the face of their suspected killer. WILL A SECRET DESTROY A DYNASTY? His proclivity for philandering has earned U.S. Senator Andrew J. McDougal numerous enemies; one more dangerous than the rest. But who and why? The suspect list seems endless. Has one of his sons turned on him? Has the senator's long suffering wife finally reached her limit? Or has one of his frequent indiscretions come back to haunt him? FBI Special Agent Mike Devlin has more questions than answers, not the least of which involves attorney Jamie Kendrick.

Is she a suspect or victim? With a rapidly mounting body count and pressure from Washington for answers, the last thing Mike needs or wants is a distraction. But he's got one. Jamie. The woman has upset his nice orderly existence and somehow, he needs to regain focus if he hopes to resolve the case before it claims someone close to him.
