Supreme Justice
Sequel to Executive Privilege

By Phillip Margolin


       
Dana Cutler and Brad Miller are back for another suspenseful mystery. This time it involves Sarah Woodruff who is on death row for the murder of her lover. Her case has gone up the appeal boards to the Supreme Court. As the Justices are trying to figure out if Sarah should be able to appeal, one Justice is attacked and another mysteriously steps down. Brad, who is now a clear, asks Dana to help him figure out what is going on. Supreme Justice is full of fast-paced action.

Phillip Margolin has done it again. The action is fast and keeps the reader turning the page. It is also realistic. It is obvious that Margolin has used his long career as a criminal defense attorney in creating the characters and describing what happens in his books. The legalese in Supreme Justice is not hard to understand for the average non lawyer reader. Brad and Dana’s characters continue to be well established and hold true to themselves. The minor characters uphold the main character’s behaviors and motives.

Supreme Justice is one of those books that readers will want to reread and continue to enjoy over the years.
