A family on top of the world with a long, long way to fall.
Attorney Daniel Raine is hired by Adam Harper, the son of Seattle's biggest real estate developer. Adam wants to seize control of the family company by declaring his father mentally unfit. There's only one problem. It soon becomes clear that the old man is very much in possession of his mental faculties and Raine is going to lose the case. Ever the pragmatist, Raine decides to stick with it and rack up some billable hours. But he soon finds himself in the middle of a deadly dispute as various members of this powerful family fight to gain control of the business. Each more ruthless than the last, they will stop at nothing to get what they want. Including murder. As the case unfolds, Raine uncovers a familial web of deceit and treachery. As he closes in on the final truth, he himself becomes a target in this twisted game where only one thing matters—The Survival Rule. The Survival Rule is the third in the brilliant legal thriller series featuring attorney Daniel Raine.
