When the right thing goes wrong, someone has to answer.
Dismantling the Blood Trade wasn't the end, but the beginning. Everything the Magistrates do has been called into question.
Do they have probable cause? Are they respecting a suspect's right against self-incrimination? The ambassadors have questions, and they think they know the answers, but only the Magistrates know the truth.
Called before the Federation Council, the collective body for discussing matters that affect all member planets, Magistrate Rivka Anoa is put under the spotlight to answer for all she had done. Upholding the law wasn't enough. Or was it? The Ambassadors will vote.
While the High Chancellor and the Magistrates are distracted, something else is happening, something sinister that needs The Interview to drag out. Who knew what when? Maybe that doesn't matter. The better question is "Who is doing what right now?"
Joseph and Petricia return to resolve issues that had languished for centuries. Will they find peace?
Magistrate Rivka Anoa is the legal eagle you want on your side. No better friend. No worse enemy.
