Volition: A Gothic Tale - Paperback

by John H. Hilton (Author)

An unambitious and privileged playboy from an illustrious and pedigreed Virginia family finds himself thrust into the serious world of power, intrigue, and the dispensing of justice. Jack Devereaux was an undistinguished lawyer who excelled mightily at all of the superficial pleasures Virginia Hunt Country Society offered, only to be threatened with disinheritance by his disappointed father. By happenstance, Devereaux received an appointment as a judge in the county where the family lived. From that point forward, Judge Devereaux began to turn the tables on his reputation and everyone around him, demonstrating extreme mastery of the dark arts of power. Will he get away with it all?
