The Death of Distant Stars, A Legal Thriller

A corrupt president. A beautiful young widow bent on vengeance. And the most powerful plaintiff's attorney in America under arrest.


Hugh Mahoney is the most powerful plaintiff’s attorney in America, with a self-admitted weakness for beautiful women. He can destroy sitting presidents and rival law firms with a stroke of his pen—until the day he agrees to help an alluring young widow avenge the death of her husband.

Kathryn Andrews is a smart, savvy public defender, determined to punish the drug company responsible for her husband’s agonizing death. She needs Hugh Mahoney and his high-priced team of civil lawyers to take on Wycliffe Pharmaceutical. But above all, she must convince them that she and Tom had a nearly perfect marriage in order to make Wycliffe pay.

Hugh is certain of a big win until his witnesses begin to die, he is arrested in front of the jury, and a surprise witness reveals the disastrous secret of Kathryn's marriage.
