Harlin Banks thought the war was over. The small-town Mississippi lawyer had just secured a historic four-billion-dollar settlement for a poisoned community, funding a state-of-the-art hospital to save thousands of lives. He was ready to retire, buy a boat, and fish until he died.
But the enemy didn't surrender; they just changed the battlefield.
When a mysterious entity known as the Apex Coalition fast-tracks a challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court using the secretive Shadow Docket, Harlin's victory is stripped away in days. The hospital funding is frozen. The victims are left to die. And Harlin is framed for securities fraud, facing prison if he fights back.
Outgunned and outmaneuvered by Elena Frost-a ruthless fixer who treats the law like a math problem-Harlin is forced to go rogue. With the help of a disgraced former partner and a brilliant hacker, he moves to Washington to take on the most powerful court in the land.
But you can't win a chess match against people who own the board. To save his clients, Harlin must do the unthinkable: find the one secret that a Supreme Court Justice is desperate to hide-and use it to blackmail him in open court.
From the red clay of the Delta to the marble halls of the Capitol, The Shadow Docket is a high-octane thriller about the terrifying reality of justice for sale.
