Description
When Jack Collins leaves a small Connecticut law practice to join one of the nation's most prestigious firms, he trades a nondescript office for an elite one in a gleaming New York City skyscraper. He basks in the pride of working with people far more glamorous that those he left behind, including a famous boss; an alluring co-worker; and a well-known client, Abigail Walker, the wealthy widow of a senator.Jack thinks he's on the path to glory, but he's really a victim of deceit, a pawn in a game he doesn't even know he's playing. His new boss harbors deep secrets, his seductive co-worker is not the person he thinks she is, and his new law firm is at the very center of a blackmail plot involving the widow Walker. Blinded by the allure of wealth and power, Jack doesn't see the danger around him. Time is running out for him to figure out the truth before he loses everything: his career, his marriage, and maybe even his life.
