Will Guidry's career as a backwater lawyer is going nowhere until
he has a couple of beers with up-and-coming political operative
Tucker Callahan, whose family's petrochemical fortune instills in
him a confidence bordering on hubris. As Tucker explains to his
rudderless brother, Carter, "Guidry and I made a deal because he
needed a miracle and I wanted to play God." Guidry rides Tucker's
political horse sense into the office of Louisiana's Attorney
General, while Tucker capitalizes on Guidry's victory to bolster
his own political reputation. But what should become a powerful
alliance deteriorates into a bitter feud when Guidry tries to flex
his political muscle and Tucker suspects he may have maneuvered a
calculating sociopath into the marble halls of power. Caught in the
crossfire is Carter, the story's narrator. Devastated by betrayal
at the hands of his brother and the woman he loved for a lifetime,
Carter watches the power struggle between Tucker and Guidry from
the sidelines. Everything changes when he stumbles on the
charismatic attorney general committing a monstrous crime, and
finds himself drawn into the vortex of his brother's private war.
Racing from a bungled execution through ruthless political payback,
before culminating in a no-holds-barred courtroom showdown, the
stakes continue to rise and Carter finds his small-town naivete
peeling away. Replacing it is a mounting dread of what will happen
when the hammer of justice meets destiny's anvil.
