Ben Addison just landed the job every young lawyer dreams of—Supreme Court clerk, Yale pedigree, fast track to influence.
Then he slips. One classified secret shared with the wrong person, and now Ben’s life is spiraling. The blackmailer made a fortune off that leak and wants more. Trapped by guilt and a threat he can’t escape, Ben turns to the only people he trusts: his childhood friends in high places and one razor-sharp fellow clerk.
But Washington runs on secrets. And in a city where betrayal is currency, no one stays clean for long.
As lies pile up and loyalties fray, Ben must decide how far he’s willing to go to save his career and his life.
Justice isn’t blind. It’s watching. And it’s armed.
