SUSPENSE:  Puller Monk is a gambler. High stakes get his adrenaline flowing. But his dark side is about to catch up with him at a time when his life and the future of this nation hang in the balance.

As an FBI agent in charge of a SPIN (Special Inquiries) Squad, Monk's job is to investigate the background of Judge Brenda Thompson, a presidential nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court and the first African-American woman to be nominated for this high office. When the judge is caught in a lie, Monk and agent Lisa Sands are set on a trail of corruption and murder that leads to the very top of the bureau - and a faceoff with a brutal killer who will stop at nothing to carry out his deadly mission.
