Something evil is afoot in the court of law. Chief Justice Selwyn Baxter has begun to suspect that some judges of the Supreme Court are involved in corruption. Recovering after heart surgery, he convinces business consultant Neil Ashton to investigate the matter for him. But what Neil finds could spell danger for more than just himself... A weak moment after the death of his wife left Justice Robert Rixon at the mercy of a criminal syndicate that now controls his life. Accustomed to the status and power of life as a judge, Rixon will go to any lengths not to have to step down... As the accusations of corruption mount and Neil's investigation circles closer to secrets Rixon would rather keep hidden, one question remains - will the halls of justice ever be clean again?
