Montauk lawyer Tom Dunleavy's client list is woefully small-
-occasional real estate closings barely keep him in paper
clips. When he is hired to defend a local man accused in a
triple murder that has the East Hampton world in an uproar,
he knows that he has found the case of his lifetime. The crime turns the glittering playground of the super-rich
into a blazing inferno. Dunleavy's client is a local hero,
but Dunleavy knows the case rests atop a volcano of money,
deception, and forbidden desires. His client is the perfect
fall guy--unless he can find the key that unlocks the
secret rooms of the gilt-shrouded set. When Dunleavy is joined by his former flame, the savvy and
well-connected attorney Kate Costello, he believes he has a
chance. But payback is a bitch--especially from the rich.
The violent retaliations of billionaires threatened by his
investigation exceed anything Dunleavy has ever seen. With
the entire nation's eyes on him in a new Trial of the
Century, Dunleavy orchestrates a series of revelations that
lead to a stunning outcome--only to find afterward that the
truth is wilder than anything he ever imagined.
