"After a long career as one of DC's most powerful litigators, Rob Jacobson is faced with the case of a lifetime: the former president of the United States--his childhood best friend--has been accused of murdering his mistress, a beautiful young woman employed in the White House Counsel's Office. Rob, who believes he is the only one who can prove his friend's innocence, coaxes his brilliant mentor Jane Cashman out of retirement to help him with the case. But they are soon overwhelmed as they attempt to devise a strategy to defend an authoritative man with a taste for infidelity, serious anger issues, and unconventional sexual appetites. As the high-profile case unfurls, the troubled, intertwining pasts of the two men complicate Rob's efforts and soon, doubts begin to grow in his head. Could his oldest friend truly be capable of murder, or is something even darker at play?"-- Dust jacket flap.
