The Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts finds himself
embroiled in a messy, high stakes, politically charged, divorce
case where he is pitted against Attorney Ted Eldridge, a lawyer
whom he has alienated in the past and who now seeks to bring the
Governor down. Genetic markers raise the question of paternity of
Danny, the twelve year old child of the Governor and his wife
Emily, who herself is battling her own demons. As the case unfolds,
the events that involve the Governor and his paramour, the Judge
sitting on his case, and the Italian bookies in Boston's North End
play themselves out in a dramatic, courtroom whirlwind of
controversy and intrigue. The characterizations ring true and the
flaws of the participants are demonstrated in graphic detail in
this suspenseful narrative. Interwoven in the plot is the
heartbreaking revelation of the terrible inadequacy of the
Massachusetts divorce system as related in the author's action
sequences played out in open court and behind closed doors in the
elegant high rises of downtown Boston. The author, himself a former
Massachusetts divorce court judge, expertly provides a courtroom
showcase that is graphic, compelling and impressively accurate.
What elevates the novel in addition, is the interesting
descriptions of the City of Boston including the financial
district, the State House and Beacon Hill where the action occurs.
