Joseph Finder-Judgment

Juliana Brody is a rising star in the judicial world. A judge in the Superior Court of Massachusetts, she is rumored to be in consideration for the federal court, and maybe even someday the highest court in the land.  At a conference in Chicago, she meets an attractive yet vulnerable man, and in a moment of weakness has an unforgettable night with him. They part with an explicit understanding that this must never happen again – Juliana is married with a family. But back home in Boston, it becomes clear that this was no random encounter. The man from Chicago proves to have an integral role in a case she's presiding over--a sex-discrimination case that's received national attention. To her horror, Juliana discovers that she's been entrapped: her night of infidelity has been captured on video. Strings are being pulled in high places, a terrifying unfolding conspiracy that will turn her life upside down. Her career, her family, and then her life are on the line.  JOSEPH FINDER is the New York Times bestselling author of ten previous novels, including Vanished and Buried Secrets.
