Publisher's Summary

Tim Donovan is a Catholic priest with a guilty conscience - though not in the way you’d guess. And Katherine Donne is a Parisian socialite who long ago kicked her self-respect to the curb - for good and for ill. And much closer, we have a group of men whose fortunes, graying temples, and positions in life are distinguished and enviable. But their morals? Anything but. And that’s where Evan Reed comes in. Evan (short for Evangeline) is a highly principled political operative with an imperfect past, tasked with uncovering compromising material on a rotten judge up for nomination to the US Supreme Court before he can be rushed through confirmation.    

Evan knows it won't be simple to find damaging information against the judge because he's been vetted many times before. When Evan pulls the string after an interview with a cryptic madman, she finds herself struggling to solve a puzzle that gets more complex by the hour. And where crime, money, conscience, and greed come together, danger is sure to lurk. In this sequel to Dust, Ann McMan takes the listener on an intense journey into a world that lies just beneath the thin veneer of civilization - a world teeming with power struggles and warped desires, and a subculture of promises made, kept, and broken.    

As Evan pushes further into peril, her personal life sparks into flame with the increasing presence of the ravishing Julia Donne, a book publisher with a progressive bent and troubling questions about her late father. McMan’s specialty of intertwining a hot romance into heart-pounding suspense just keeps getting better and better.

Ann McMan does it again

An excellent follow-up to Dust. I enjoyed Christine Williams reading and vocal interpretation of the various characters. She is fun to listen to.

Good political thriller with light wlw romance

This was the first book I've listened to by McMan and I now intend to go listen to all her other works. She created a story with good strong characters wrestling with dark and complex topics. I appreciate the way she steered clear of oversimplification of the Church while engaging with issues like sexual abuse and homophobia.

The narrator embodied the essence of the main character best, but was a little weak when it came to non-white supporting characters. I found these characters to be written well, but the voice acting leaned toward shallow stereotypes.
