The Washington Lawyer

In the high-stakes world of Washington politics, hotshot lawyer Andrew Martin is being put to the test. When long-time friend Senator William Jasper calls, it’s with explosive news—a sex tryst at Martin’s beach house in Anguilla has gone awry and former model Vanessa Boyd is dead. Just how far will Martin go to protect the chief justice nomination he’s built his entire career on?  Archeologist Allison Boyd is determined to discover the truth behind her twin sister’s sudden death. Launching an investigation that will reveal staggering secrets, Allison uncovers a complex web of lies that will expose some of Washington’s most influential power players. And she will not rest until she sees them ruined.
