Boston attorney Brady Coyne has just received a call from Jimmy DAmbrosio, a Democratic party kingmaker and acting campaign manager for prosecutor Ellen Stoddard, whos running for a Senate seat. Shes got a real shot at becoming the states first woman to hold the post, except for one thing: her husband Albert, a college professor and Bradys occasional fishing partner, has been acting strangely, and now hes disappeared altogether. DAmbrosio wonders if Alberts having a romantic dalliance with a coed, or if some other scandal is threatening to break. Either way, the campaign cant be involved, so he wants Coyne to investigate and keep any threatening skeletons locked firmly away in the closet. But after Coyne uncovers evidence of a murder, DAmbrosio claims client-attorney privilege and threatens to have him disbarred if he leaks a word of the case to anyone. But Brady refuses to drop the case, and follows the trail to the little town of Southwick, New Hampshire, where an idyllic façade hides a terrible secret. And as the campaign draws to a climax, it seems that Brady Coyne has just been elected most likely to be the next to die.
