Law of gravity

"Philip Barkley had come far enough in Washington to know where the bodies are buried, but no so far that he'd lie about it. In the capital, that was no-man's-land, and his fall from grace was swift. He's given another chance when he gets involved with a case that began 50 years ago."
"Philip Barkley is a former White House lawyer whose fall from grace is the stuff of legend. Even though Barkley lost his family and position, he kept his integrity. Now he must use his only asset to investigate the disappearance of a Senate Intelligence Committee staffer - an especially touchy problem during a presidential candidacy."@en
"The disappearance of Senate Intelligence Committee aide Martin Green indicates a breach of national security. Senator Warren Young, the party's best chance to keep the White House, needs a credible report that the missing man was no spy. Philip Barkley is required to oversee the investigation and deliver the "right" result. As the case progresses, the signs grow more troubling, and even an FBI agent isn't what she seems. The pursuit of Green leads across generations, a trail of deception and murder that began with a woman's fall from a Bronx rooftop almost fifty years earlier."@en
