Publisher's Synopsis
When failure is not an option - When Hab Vanderholm's first act as president is to appoint a new supervisor over the prosecutor's office, Jake immediately investigates and discovers his new boss is one of the most notorious professional assassins in the country - an opponent worthy of extreme caution. This appointment plunges Jake into a raging firestorm of corruption and greed among the highest levels of the fledgling democracy. Before the new constitution is really tested, a coalition of southern leaders files a lawsuit to overturn it. Jake leads Professor Ingleman and his merry band of scholars on a legal quest to turn their suit on it's head and install a new constitution based on civil liberties, equality and justice for all. To do so, they will either bring down the president or die trying.
