"Halls of Justice painted green-money talking." --Metallica, San Francisco's own immortal metal vanguard

In this city, wealth reigns, and truth is buried six feet deep. What begins as a fact-finding mission pulls her deeper into the machinery of power, a labyrinthine chess match. For Rose, justice lies not only in victory but in confronting the system that controls the narrative-its own fiction d'État. Government immunity does not apply when the law imposes a non-discretionary duty under California Government Code 815.6. A story of virtue. Of power. And ultio tenetur a veritate-justice bound by truth.
