"In the aftermath of a second American revolution, peace rests on a fragile truce. The old regime has been deposed, but the ex-president has vanished, escaping justice for his crimes. Some believe he is dead. Others fear he is in hiding, gathering forces. As the factions in Washington work to restore order, Donny Kimoe is in court to settle old scores--and pay his own debts come due. Meanwhile, the rebels Donny once defended are exacting their own kind of justice. In the ruins of New Orleans, they are building a green utopia--and kidnapping their defeated adversaries to pay for it. The newest hostage is the young heiress to a fortune made from plundering the country--and the daughter of one of Donny's oldest friends. In a desperate gambit to save his ownskin, Donny switches sides to defend her before the show trial. If he fails, so will the truce, dragging the country back into violence. But by taking the case, he risks his last chance to expose the atrocities of the dictatorship--and being tried for his own crimes against the revolution"--Provided by publisher.
