When Joseph Antonelli attends a Harvard reunion, it brings back memories of a tragedy that still shadows him and his friends. Years ago, a young woman fell to her death from a hotel window. Now the case is being reopened - and so is the sordid past of the star witness, the Vice President of the United States.
In 'Breach Of Trust', attorney Joseph Antonelli is seduced into taking a case that has dangerous implications not only for the upcoming United States presidential race but also for a group of friends who thought they had put the sudden death of a young woman behind them long ago.
When Antonelli attends a Harvard Law School reunion at Manhattan's Plaza Hotel, he doesn't suspect how disturbing his return will be - for it was at a party in this very hotel that a lively young woman fell from a window to her death. The event had been ruled an accident at the time, but the case is about to be reopened, and a possible witness is wary of its potential to ruin his political chances - a man with promise and ambition in equal measure, the vice president of the United States.
When the trial begins, the nation's eyes turn to the accused, the down-trodden James Haviland, and to the unseen powers both within and without the White House who want to bury him. It's up to the shrewd and sharp Antonelli to uncover just where the secrets lie - and exactly who is playing whom.
