Vysokonapěťový trhák, thriller ve stylu ... nevěř nikomu... Sabin Willett zaostřuje svůj příběh o těch, kdo uzavírají a porušují smlouvy, tempem tryskového letadla, zápletka kličkuje z jedné nebezpečné zóny do druhé. A v Louise Shidlerové vytvořil sytými barvami mnohovrstevnnou hráčku, dost tvrdou, aby před ní ucouvl i James Bond, a dost něžnou, aby upoutala pohled každého muže. Sedmatřicetiletá velvyslankyně Spojených států, matka a odsouzená zrádkyně. Zrazena manželem, vládou a svým mocným šéfem a mentorem, zůstane opuštěna všemi kromě své dcery Isabel. Když je však dívka unesena, Louisa pochopí, že zrada se nevyhne ničemu a neexistují meze toho, co dokáže udělat žena, aby přežila. Willettův dialog je plný, bohatý a politicky věcný. Intriky kypí na vysoké úrovni, autor je jako doma v teritoriu Fredericka Forsytha a tempo je rychlé jako sbíječka.

At 7 a.m. in a Boston boardroom, there's a disaster in the making. High in an office tower in the heart of the financial district, lawyers and bankers are fighting a deadline to close an $840,000,000 leveraged buyout. Under the pressure of the crowded agenda, no one notices that a zero has been dropped from the mortgage document. The papers are signed, cheers and applause roar from the boardroom - and the fuse of a time bomb is lit. When it explodes, there will be hell to pay. As the partners of Freer, Motley, the presiding law firm, will discover, they are collectively and personally liable to their client to make up the multimillion-dollar shortfall. And so begins an accelerating and dire chain of events. Freer, Motley's senior partner is found dead, and its brightest young associate is charged with murder. The firm needs a fall guy, and John Shepard, brilliant but arrogant - and recently passed over for partner - fills the role to perfection. Defending John Shepard in a Boston court is going to be a career buster. No one wants the job, and no one understands why Ed Mulcahy accepts the case, even if he is Shepard's friend - but they don't know he's already in way too deep to walk away.
