The story begins with dramatic deaths on a mountain top and continues at full speed as the author sweeps you into a world of discrimination, sexual harassment and much more all inside the walls of a powerful law firm.

Maggie Mahoney is a partner at the prestigious law firm of Sweeny, Owens and Boyle, and the trophy wife of its managing lawyer, Bryce Chandler. Life is moving along at a steady pace when a ski trip turns Maggie’s personal and business life upside down.

When Bryce is killed in an avalanche, Maggie quickly finds herself an outsider at the law firm. Firm Chairman Andy Anderson, obsessed with becoming the next Attorney General, selects a reputed sexist to fill Bryce’s position. Suspecting there’s more to the promotion, Maggie begins to dig deeper.
