description: Young attorney Harry Walsh has never questioned the connection between himself and senior mob boss Sam Giardino - a connection that began in Harry's boyhood, when his father, Sam's consigliari, was killed by a bullet meant for the don. Harry knows, rather self-righteously, that he's never had Sam himself for a client - never mind that he has defended numerous employees of Giardino's many enterprises in the city of Baltimore. And he reacts with anger when the gossip columns accuse him of being one of Giardino's pawns. His older brother, Tucker, a police officer, is one of those people who despise Harry for his relations with Giardino; because of this, Harry has not been welcome in Tucker's home. But when Tucker is found shot under questionable circumstances, Harry's concern for Tucker's family and the innuendo about Giardino's part in his brother's murder compel Harry to investigate on his own. What he finds is a great deal more than he expected; even more important, it forces Harry to finally face the implications of his ties to the Mafia boss.
