Blurb (from book jacket): "Sarah Woodruff, on death row in Oregon for murdering her lover, John Finely, has appealed her case to the Supreme Court just when a prominent justice resigns, leaving a vacancy.
"Then, for no apparent reason, another justice is mysteriously attacked. Dana Cutler-one of the heroes from Margolin's bestselling Executive Privilege-is quietly called in to investigate. She looks for links between the Woodruff appeal and the ominous incidents in the justices' chambers, which eventually lead her to a shoot-out that took place years ago on a small freighter docked upriver in Shelby, Oregon, containing a dead crew and illegal drugs. The only survivor on board? John Finley.
"With the help of Brad Miller and Keith Evans, Dana uncovers a plot by a rogue element in the American intelligence community involving the president's nominee to the Surpreme Court, and soon the trio is thrown back into the grips of a deadly, executive danger."
Opinion: Great and fast paced. Check for a more complete review in the upcoming months on MyShelf.com
