Description
The charismatic CEO of a high-tech multinational corporation dies when his self-driving car plunges off a cliff into Puget Sound. The company's own technical experts find that the car's computer was turned off at the time of the accident. So the police rule his death a suicide.
But lawyer and professional lobbyist Sandy Dalton doesn't believe it.
Then a whistleblower who triggered a political crisis that had threatened the CEO's Company shows up in Sandy's office in need of a attorney. In the ensuing legal battle, Sandy and his law partner, Sherry Sebold, use the legal discovery process to pierce the wall of corporate secrecy. And Sandy initiates a back-channel strategy at the State Capitol to flush out the killer.
What they discover will place them both in danger as it implicates top executives inside the company, embarrasses powerful elected political leaders at the highest levels of government, and threatens committed activists in the current campaign for Washington State Governor.
