text: PLOT: (FROM THE COVER) MICHAEL WAS IN A HURRY. HE WAS SCRAMBLING UP THE LADDER AT DRAKE AND SWEENEY, A GIANT D.C. LAW FIRM WITH EIGHT HUNDRED LAWYERS. THE MONEY WAS GOOD AND GETTING BETTER; A PARTNERSHIP WAS THREE YEARS AWAY. HE WAS A RISING STAR WITH NO TIME TO WASTE, NO TIME TO STOP, NO TIME TO TOSS A FEW COINS INTO THE CUPS OF PANHANDLERS. NO TIME FOR A CONSCIENCE.
  
  BUT A VIOLENT ENCOUNTER WITH A HOMELESS MAN STOPPED HIM COLD. MICHAEL SURVIVED, HIS ASSAILANT DID NOT. WHO WAS THIS MAN? MICHAEL DID SOME DIGGING, AND LEARNED THAT HE WAS A MENTALLY ILL VETERAN WHO'D BEEN IN AND OUT OF SHELTERS FOR MANY YEARS. THEN MICHAEL DUG A LITTLE DEEPER, AND FOUND A DIRTY SECRET, AND THE SECRET INVOLVED DRAKE AND SWEENEY.
  
  THE FAST TRACK DERAILED; THE LADDER COLLAPSED. MICHAEL BOLTED FROM THE FIRM AND TOOK A TOP-SECRET FILE WITH HIM. HE LANDED IN THE STREETS, AN ADVOCATE FOR THE HOMELESS, A STREET LAWYER.
  
  AND A THIEF.
