Lawyer Sam Bogardus thought it was a routine adoption case. His client believed her natural father had died years ago in a bizarre accident. But now, she has received a message that her father is still alive. The message is attached to four pages of an ancient journal that could be the key to a hidden fortune. And Sam's investigation leads to a loved one's murder...

What he uncovers is more shocking than greed or revenge. It's a web of conspiracy that spans four centuries...

And it's enough to make a lawyer take the law into his own hands.
