About this item

A New York Times Bestselling Author Hester Monk, wife of the commander of the Thames River Police, questions the finances of a London church whose members' hard-earned donations appear to go into the pocket of charismatic preacher Abel Taft. Brilliant barrister Oliver Rathbone, newly appointed a judge, presides over the trial. Taft's guilt seems clear, until a last-minute witness undermines the charges and Rathbone makes a well-meaning but reckless move that could ruin his life.
