Deadly intrigue, breathtaking twists, and exhilarating suspense await in the third book of Phillip Margolin’s New York Times bestselling Washington Trilogy. Hot on the heels of Supreme Justice, Margolin delivers another heart-pounding thriller featuring private investigator Dana Cutler and lawyer Brad Miller, who are forced by a terrorist attack on a football stadium—and by the escape of Executive Privilege’s convicted serial killer Clarence Little—to follow a sinister trail of lies, treachery, and betrayal into an unexpected new arena: the U.S. Congress.

— Barbara, 2/18/2014" Since I haven't read this author for a bit, I forgot that he has some characters to follow.......and I wasn't disappointed. Plus, the ending absolutely assures me there is more to come! "
— Barbara, 2/5/2014" I have to agree with the reviewer who wrote one dimensional characters. Very disappointing fast read. I think I read it in about 4 hours with breaks thrown in. Very happy it was a library book. "
— Connie, 2/2/2014" Too many bodies for me - and some unbelievable characters. Just not my type of book. "
— Sharon, 1/28/2014" Interesting enough to keep reading, but I think the characters are not a bit flat and stereotypes. To "american" for my taste. "
— Desiree, 1/16/2014" I found this book very hard to get into and almost stopped reading two or three times. It finally picked up. "
— Larry, 1/15/2014" usually like Margolin more than I did this time "
— Stephanie, 1/11/2014" Audio version read by Jonathan Davis "
— Linda, 12/28/2013" This book is a bit if a twisted story, but well written and vivid. The circumstances are a bit unbelievable in some cases, but the story kept me guessing and it was an enjoyable book. "
— Stephen, 12/17/2013" This book was suspensful and a great read. "
— Lara, 11/9/2013" This book wasn't bad but not really up to what I expect from Mr. Margolin. The story was decent but it felt like a quick read. Seems Mr. Margolin may be venturing into James Patterson territory. Quick easy reads without much character depth. Disappointed. "
— Dave, 10/18/2013" Very fast paced. Great characters. "
— Bonnie, 9/22/2013" Choppy and not very suspenseful in my opinion. Obvious conclusion "
— Marge, 6/25/2013" Just finished this one. Really good and highlights the weirdness of the US legal system... "
— Rd, 6/16/2013" This was another good political thriller by Margolin. He featured some characters from his past couple of books, but I read them so long ago, I didn't remember them. Overall, though, this was another good story. "
— Dawn, 6/13/2013" This book was an interesting mystery but there was no depth to the characters. "

— Del, 2/17/2013" Quick read, very compelling thriller. "
— Bannon, 6/22/2012" This was a suspenseful book about a terror plot and the seamier side of politics and other nuances. Although I found the book jumpy in places, it did have some nice twists and turns and an unexpected (for me) ending. "
