EVERYONE HAS THEIR PRICE.

A judge has been brutally murdered.

His body is found in a remote lakeside cabin. There is no sign of forced entry or a struggle. Just two dead bodies - the judge and his secretary - and one state-of-the-art safe, opened and emptied.

Ex-attorney Malcolm Bannister knows who killed the judge - and why. The FBI need to know his secrets. And Bannister is ready to talk. But there's a catch: he is currently serving a ten-year prison sentence.

Bannister knows that everything has a price - and this racketeer wasn't born yesterday.
