| Famous,
successful, rich people don't kill themselves. This is
the though that runs through John Keegan's mind when he
learns his partner has scored them the Ronald Mullins
case. Mullins had it all, money, power, and a beautiful
wife. If anyone had a reason to commit suicide, it wasn't
Mullins. Despite this, the mayor, a good friend of Mullins,
is convinced the one-time tycoon killed himself. So is
everyone else. Except Keegan and his partner.
Keegan investigates further, and finds out Mullins
was preparing a Senate run. He also discovers marital
problems, and friction between Mullins and his business
partner. All of a sudden he can point a finger at half
a dozen people who would want the software mogul dead.
Unfortunately, nothing is as it seems. There is a ladder
of corruption, but before Keegan can make it near the
top rung, he is in handcuffs, framed, with his whole life
falling to pieces around him.
When the entire police organization turns against
him, when he feels that the people he considered family
stab him in the back, he decides to go it alone, armed
only with his sardonic wit, and a handful of people he
has no choice but to trust. He learns truths about the
people he respected most, truths he doesn't want to know.
In the end, he risks his job, his friends, his family,
and his life to solve the biggest case the city has seen
in decades.
