Impulsive, sharp-witted Harlan Judd runs Judd Risk Management, a discreet, high-tech private investigation firm that handles cases with the highest possible stakes, while operating at the absolute fringes of the law. Along with ruthlessly efficient investigator Nora Gage and a staff of brilliantly skilled, driven individuals -- some with their own agendas and secrets -- Harlan does whatever it takes to prevail in a world of uneasy alliances and uncertain loyalties.
