He gave up the money. He gave up the power. Now all he has left is the law. Michael Brock is billing the hours, making the money, rushing relentlessly to the top of Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm. One step away from partnership, Michael has it all.

When it is all over, the man's blood is splattered on Michael's face--and suddenly Michael is willing to do the unthinkable.
