The Silent Gavel
Justice has a sound. This time, it’s silence.
When Deputy Attorney General Eleanor Vance dies in an apparent suicide, DOJ prosecutor Alex Hayes is left holding fragments of a conspiracy—evidence of a covert network placing corrupt judges on the federal bench. Vance had hinted at a link to Alex’s own mother, then vanished before revealing the truth.
The deeper Alex digs, the more contradictions she finds. Some files paint Vance as a whistleblower. Others as an architect of the scheme. Sealed records, secret payoffs, and a single white queen chess piece point to a dangerous double life.
To expose the truth, Alex must untangle Vance’s role in the conspiracy before the same silent gavel that ended her career—and her life—comes down on Alex.
