The Kingmaker

Hotshot Army lawyer Sean Drummond returns in this new thriller from Brian Haig, son of former Secretary of State Alexander Haig. In the worst case of treason in U.S. history, General William Morrison has been charged with a breathtaking array of crimes. Oddsmakers give Drummond zero chance of saving his client from a death sentence. However, his obligation runs deeper than simply professional: Morrison's wife, a CIA executive, has begged Sean to save her husband, and Drummond doesn't want to disappoint his old flame. Despite intelligence leaks that paint Morrison as worse than Benedict Arnold, Drummond plows ahead and comes to suspect that this simple case of treason is actually a chess game being played at the highest levels with Morrison merely a pawn.
