With shaky hands and a sore body, she walks out of a bedroom and into a world where she is surrounded by strangers, herself included. With the help of Andrew, a man who claims to be her husband and her savior from a hellish ordeal, Eleanor faces the future while trying to remember the past so she can piece back together her life and what caused her memory loss. But when reality comes crashing down around her, Eleanor must decide if she is ready to move forward or if the past is too hard to give up.
Justice must be served when a chief clerk is killed in this mystery by the New York Times–bestselling author. When Clarence Sutherland, chief clerk of the Supreme Court, is found dead, Lt. Martin Teller of the DC police and Susanna Pinscher of the Justice Department are pulled together to find the killer. It turns out that Sutherland had a lot of confidential information on important people, and any one of them could be responsible for his death.
