Ali Hussein, accused terrorist and alleged Al Qaeda financier, has spent years in Guantanamo. When he’s finally brought to the U.S. for trial, the case shocks the nation—and Byron Carlos Johnson, a star defense attorney, shocks everyone further by taking it. For Johnson, it’s about principle: defending a man tortured under the guise of “justice.”
But principles come with a price. Hussein holds secrets about global financial networks that could cripple terror organizations—or keep them funded indefinitely. That knowledge makes him a target for both international terrorists and shadowy U.S. intelligence operatives who’d rather see him silenced.
Caught between two ruthless enemies, Johnson risks more than his career. The closer he gets to the truth, the higher the cost climbs. Will he survive it?
