Secret Justice - Hardcover

Did Supreme Court Justice Richard Davenport stand by and watch when his wife fell to her death into a raging sea? Or, as whispered inside the Beltway, did the new justice do something far worse? With his foe Senator Oren Nyquist watching closely, Davenport must now cast the deciding vote in two bitterly contested cases that in their moral implications mirror his deepest anguish over what happened that night on the Nantucket ferry. Secret Justice draws its page-turning momentum from the justice's battles not just with his new Supreme Court colleagues, the Washington establishment, and the President who appointed him, but also with himself as he arrives at his vote in two cases that will alter his judicial career and his life forever.
