Why did he survive?

An assassin guns down the justices as they are hearing a case in the U.S. Supreme Court. Solicitor General Jefferson McKenna, the government's top lawyer, is appointed to the multi agency commission investigating the murders.

Now, McKenna will discover just how much danger he's in, and how far his enemy will go to conceal the truth...
