They get their biggest job yet when the White House hires them to vet the president's nominee for the Supreme Court. Judge Roland Madison is a legal giant, but he's a political maverick, with views that might make the already tricky confirmation process even more difficult. Rena and his team go full-bore to cover every inch of the judge's past, while the competing factions of Washington D.C. mobilize with frightening intensity: ambitious senators, garrulous journalists, and wily power players on both sides of the aisle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of that becomes background when a string of seemingly random killings overlaps with Rena's investigation, with Judge Madison a possible target.
