A Long Island native, Jack Mullen is a senior at Columbia Law when his younger brother is murdered. Peter Mullen is a likable but aimless lad who likes to live on the edge. He was parking cars for a rich CEO in the Hamptons when he disappears. His body washes up on the beach the next day, and he's been brutally beaten. But the chief of police claims it was an accidental drowning or a suicide-even though the medical examiner rules otherwise. It soon becomes apparent that there is a massive cover-up going on, and the rich CEO, Barry Neubauer, is at the top of the list.

Jack and his buddies decide that they're going to have to discover the truth for themselves
