The novel is as tense and thrilling as any of Brown's work, and as
full of rage and hope. It's a novel that truly reckons with the
enormity of both our climate emergency and the system that produced
it - a tale of human imperfection and redemption. -- Cory Doctorow,
bestselling author of Walkaway In this second dystopian legal
thriller from the author of the acclaimed Rule of Capture and
Tropic of Kansas, lawyer Donny Kimoe juggles two intertwined cases
whose outcomes will determine the course of America's future--and
his own. In the aftermath of a second American revolution, peace
rests on a fragile truce. The old regime has been deposed, but the
ex-president has vanished, escaping justice for his crimes. Some
believe he is dead. Others fear he is in hiding, gathering forces.
As the factions in Washington work to restore order, Donny Kimoe is
in court to settle old scores--and pay his own debts come due.
Meanwhile, the rebels Donny once defended are exacting their own
kind of justice. In the ruins of New Orleans, they are building a
green utopia--and kidnapping their defeated adversaries to pay for
it. The newest hostage is the young heiress to a fortune made from
plundering the country--and the daughter of one of Donny's oldest
friends. In a desperate gambit to save his own skin, Donny switches
sides to defend her before the show trial. If he fails, so will the
truce, dragging the country back into violence. But by taking the
case, he risks his last chance to expose the atrocities of the
dictatorship--and being tried for his own crimes against the
revolution. To save the future, Donny has to gamble his own. The
only way out is to find the evidence that will get both sides back
to the table, and secure a more lasting peace. To do that, Donny
must betray his clients' secrets. Including one explosive secret
hidden in the ruins, the discovery of which could extinguish the
last hope for a better tomorrow--or, if Donny plays it right, keep
it burning.
