Publisher Description

“A master of plot and pacing—and one of those rare authors who can create a genuinely surprising ending.”

 — Lisa Scottoline

 

“It takes a really crafty storyteller to put people on the edge of their seats and keep them there. Phillip Margolin does just that.”

Chicago Tribune

 

The crew from the New York Times bestseller Executive Privilege is back in another pulse-racing thriller from Phillip Margolin. Fans of John Grisham, David Baldacci, James Patterson, and Scott Turow—as well as Margolin’s own immensely popular Amanda and Frank Jaffe books like Fugitive, Wild Justice, and Proof Positive—won’t be able to put down Supreme Justice until the last spellbinding page.

"For a mystery, there is a lot going on in this book, and most leads are tied together by the end with nonstop action inbetween--with just a couple left for another book. It is a pretty good look at the Supreme Court system of clerks, too. "

— Parkerspammy (4 out of 5 stars)

    " I thought the previous book "Executive Privilege" packed a bigger punch, but "Supreme Justice" kept my interest peaked as the author took the reader through a twisting series of turns. I did find that a lot of the story repeated itself, as told by different characters, and some of the events stretched the realm of belief, at times. Overall however, I enjoyed reading this book and enjoyed the surprise twists provided. "

    " I'm not Margolin's biggest fan, but this one was decent. There were a lot of different parts that came together at the end. A lot of it is highly improbable and the prose is a bit clunky, but the story more or less held my interest 'til the end. I like some of the Supreme Court stuff even if it wasn't all that believable. Decent, not great. "

    " Excellent follow-up to Executive Privilege! Again, kept me on my toes to the very end! I honestly can't hardly put these books down and have finished both within 48 hours! "

    " Fast read; before you can really be too bothered you're just about finished. Nothing makes sense, practically nothing is plausible. It really is an insult. But. Slightly sympathetic characters, slightly interesting locale. "
