Federal Judge Tom Brewer is finally putting the pieces of his life back together. In the closet for 25 long years, he's climbing out slowly, and, with the hope of finding a special relationship with the stunning Mike Lucciano, US Marshal assigned to his DC courthouse. He wants to be out and proud, but he can't erase his own past, and the lessons he learned long ago.

A devastating terrorist attack in the heart of Washington, DC, and the capture and arrest of the terrorist lead to a trial that threatens to expose the dark underbelly of America's national security. The Russian president is gravely injured and fixated on revenge, while a gay Russian dissident is arrested and put on trial in Judge Tom Brewer's courtroom. As Russia beats the drums of war and the United States struggles to contain the trial before it races out of control, secrets and lies, past and present, collide in his courtroom, before his bench.

With the world's attention fixed on Tom and this case, secrets from his past explode during the course of the trial, which place him at the very center of the case and make him the only man who can try to stop the world's slide into war.

Contains mature themes.

Tal Bauer is so very talented. Not only does he write an interesting and incredibly detailed suspense but the love story between Mike and Tom is beautiful. My heart ached for these two men. Chris and Etta Mae were perfect additions to the story.

I couldn’t put this book down

I’m really not a fan of politics or spy plots but this book makes me cry, laugh, feel angry at the world and finally makes me feel really good… I almost listen it in one shot (19 hours) it s crazy good. Tal Bauer is a really talented writer and it s probably one of the best narration by Joel Leslie

Amazing

Intrigue, political maneuvering, terrorists and fear, but through it all two people find eachother and begin to heal. They find their happily ever after but it's not an easy road.
It is a long book but it doesn't feel that way. I bought the audio several years ago and loved it then. I listened to it recently again and remembered why I loved it so much.
Joel Leslie does a fantastic job keeping each character' s voice unique. You are never confused as to who is speaking and considering the vast amount of side character that is a tribute to his incredible skill as a voice actor.
I highly recommend this audio book!

I love the characterization of Chris. I am still in chapter 4 but had to write this review. Thanks to the author for creating Chris and to the narrator for interpreting them so well.

Chris the best friend
