US Vice President Tom Bradshaw is the perfect candidate, a "sure thing". But when he is found dead in the penthouse of Boston's finest hotel, the American people want answers and his administration needs a scapegoat.
It has been twelve years since Boston attorney David Cavanaugh's ex-wife Karin left him for another man. Now, she has called to ask the impossible. She wants him to represent her husband. The charge - murder. The victim - the Vice President of the United States.
Now Cavanaugh faces the toughest decision of his career, a decision he knows will ultimately see him face off with his past and carve out his future. What he does not realise is that Tom Bradshaw's death is only the beginning. Three more are dead and his enemies will stop at nothing to protect their secret and consolidate their power, for they are an unbreakable band of four, and their word is GOSPEL.
