About this item

High-stakes politics and the rivalry between two powerful women in the trial of the century. Legendary defense attorney Raquel Rematti represents a presidential candidate -- and former First Lady of an ISIS-assassinated President -- Senator Angelina Baldesteri in the most watched and explosive trial of the 21st Century. The Senator, a Democrat, sees it as a vendetta show trial orchestrated by the current Republican US President, his Republican Attorney General, and an ambitious Republican United States Attorney in Manhattan. At the trial, a year before the election, the Senator faces charges of election fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering; each of which could deem her unfit for office and all but remove her from the Presidential race. As the epic trial unfolds, Raquel is staggered by her client's naked ambition and the extent of the complex relationships the Senator keeps hidden in a mounting trail of lies.
