In the sleepy town of Monticello, Georgia, three women hold the reins of power at the local courthouse: Cassie Manson, the shrewd magistrate judge; Angelina Black, the cunning state court judge; and Louise Ambrose, the manipulative clerk of court. For years, they've been running a lucrative embezzlement scheme, skimming money from fines and fees. When the local Warrior for Citizen's leader, Marne Petakis, threatens to expose their corruption, the trio hatches a sinister plot. They plan to frame Louise's husband for murder, hiring a local ne'er-do-well to do the dirty work. With fabricated evidence and perjured testimony, they're certain their scheme is foolproof. As the pressure mounts, the women's loyalties are tested and their secrets threaten to spill out in open court. Will their house of cards come tumbling down? Or will they succeed in sending an innocent man to prison to cover their tracks? This gripping legal thriller explores the dark underbelly of small-town justice, where those sworn to uphold the law are its worst offenders. It's a tale of greed, betrayal, and the high cost of keeping secrets in a place where everyone knows your name.
