About this book

In Saudi Arabia, two American missionaries are targeted by the infamous religious police--the Muttawa. The man is tortured and killed, his wife arrested on trumped-up charges before being deported to the U.S. Compelled by her story, attorney Brad Carson files an unprecedented civil rights suit against Saudi Arabia and the ruthless head of the Muttawa. But the suit unleashes powerful forces that will stop at nothing to vindicate the Arabian kingdom. Witnesses disappear, jurors are bribed--even Brad's team may have been infiltrated. As Brad navigates a maze of treachery and deception, he gambles his case, his career, and the lives of those he loves--including brilliant co-counsel Leslie Connors--on the ability of his team to bring justice to one family and alter the course of international law.
