An assistant US Attorney who successfully prosecuted various defendants for tax evasion, securities fraud and racketeering, is found dead in a restroom. In its investigation into the prosecutor’s murder, the FBI has zeroed in on a ruthless Mafia crime boss who is under investigation for tax evasion, bribery of IRS officials, racketeering, prostitution and illegal arms sales. Soon thereafter, a bankruptcy lawyer who shares the same name as the federal prosecutor is also murdered in the same manner in a restroom. As the FBI ramps up its criminal investigations in order to prosecute the Mafia crime boss, prosecutors reluctantly agree to immunize several questionable characters willing to testify in court. However, as more witnesses continue to die, it appears that the Mafia crime boss will be found not guilty of the more serious criminal charges. In a stunning twist, the Mafia crime boss is given an opportunity to enter into a lenient plea bargain if he admits his part in the murders of the prosecutor and bankruptcy lawyer but refuses to acknowledge that he commissioned both murders under the premise that he cannot confess to crimes he did not commit. As the story comes to a dramatic conclusion, the reader will be kept in suspense until the last page when the killer’s identity is finally revealed in a riveting plot twist.
