Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

It's a position Will Burleigh has worked toward his entire career-a spot on the United States Supreme Court. With the support of his wife, Sarah, Will is excited at the prospect of sitting on the highest court of the nation. But when the confirmation process begins, things take a turn neither Will nor Sarah ever expected. After one of their close, personal friends dies in a suspicious accident and they are attacked in their own home, Will and Sarah are propelled into a world of fear and danger. The misstatements of a politically biased press, the horror of a death threat, and the endless questions from the confirmation committee pummel the couple and severely challenge Will's dedication to the position. Yet the Burleighs' turmoil is enough to inspire three former law clerks to tweak the confirmation process and redefine the game. But if one side is playing hardball and the other tennis, where is the playing field, what does the ball look like, and what, exactly, are the rules?When the price of success keeps escalating to a standoff, Will and Sarah must ask themselves the ultimate question: is it worth it?
