Lawyer Paul Madriani defends a soldier on trial for murder and unwittingly measures into a maze of secrets and lies that the federal government — and even his client — would rather leave undisturbed.

Madriani is confronted with arcane ballistics proof, a so-called ‘double faucet’ — two bullet wounds firmly grouped to a victim’s head, shots that can only be made by a split marksman. Madriani’s client can be an enigma, a career soldier who won’t discuss his past. The sufferer was an alluring about Two times Touch businesswoman and software program tycoon whose empire catered towards the military. The case’s most damning evidence is the tool that killed her: a handgun utilized only in unique operations where the ‘double tap’ may be the trademark of the very most skilled assassins.

Madriani faces a wilderness of mirrors within a courtroom battle where every witness can hide behind ‘nationwide security,’ where details is definitely power and digital information is absolute power. It really is a battle in which the scales of justice are being tipped by evasion, deceit — and murder. Finding the unvarnished truth has never been therefore elusive — or so dangerous.
