About the book
Carl Trudeau is very unhappy that the Mississippi court system has ruled against his chemical company. His company was accused of dumping toxic waste into the water supply of a small town thus causing a large outbreak of cancer in the community. He proceeds to buy a seat on the Supreme Court by recruiting, manipulating and financing a candidate who he hopes will be sympathtic to his company since he has invested so much in him.
