He must rescue his firm's oldest client, which is being sued vindictively by a giant public utility, as well as the firm's largest client, embroiled in a politically motivated suit before a lunatic federal judge. To avoid professional and financial ruin, Alec must somehow get rid of both cases almost immediately and stop thousands of others from suing. This seemingly impossible assignment arrives as Alec's adopted sixteen-year- old daughter, the inheritor of a Mafia fortune, is targeted in a sex-slave scheme by her uncle, the capo famiglia. Distractions only intensify when Alec's beautiful sister-in-law, looking and acting so much like his deceased wife, becomes a board piece in the Mob game. Corporate intrigues, political maneuvering, two high-stakes courtroom battles, Mob terror, and the frantic race to save the lives of the women he loves--looks like Alec's got some serious work to do. Alan Hruska is the author of the novels Pardon the Ravens and It Happened at Two in the Morning, the writer of several plays, and the writer and director of multiple films, most recently, The Man on Her Mind. A former trial lawyer, he is a New York native and a graduate of Yale University and Yale Law School" --
