New York Times bestselling author Phillip Margolin returns to the corridors of power in Washington, DC, with an exciting thriller about a ghost ship and the president's nominee to the Supreme Court.

Sarah Woodruff, on death row in Oregon for murdering her lover, John Finley, 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 Supreme Court, and soon the trio is thrown back into the grips of a deadly, executive danger.

With nonstop action, Supreme Justice picks up where Executive Privilege left off, putting listeners right back where they were, on the edge of their seats.

      In this entertaining if predictable sequel to Executive Privilege
      (2008) from Margolin, policewoman Sarah Woodruff, who's on death row in Oregon, has been tried twice for murdering her lover, John Finley. Sarah's life depends on an appeal to the Supreme Court, but her appeal, if heard, could expose a criminal plot within the CIA. An unexpected vacancy in the court provides one opportunity to quash Woodruff's attempted appeal. For the man at the center of the plot, however, this isn't enough, and a Supreme Court justice becomes a target for assassination. Once again PI Dana Cutler and law clerk Brad Miller find themselves investigating dastardly doings in Washington, D.C., involving a host of conventional characters, from scheming Beltway sachems to a ghetto-raised African-American justice. Thriller fans who like to see the villains receive their just rewards and the good guys come to no harm will find this a comforting read.

      Jonathan Davis's outstanding narration does more for the sequel to EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE than it deserves. Brad, the hero of the earlier book, who brought down a U.S. president, is now a clerk at the U.S. Supreme Court. For a nefarious reason, someone doesn't want the Court to examine the case of a policewoman charged with murder who is on death row. With its numerous references to the first book and a very long flashback, this is not one of Margolin's best efforts. Davis gives his best effort to make the obvious interesting, the characters vivid and credible, and the action somewhat exciting (though there's much more talking than anything else). His clear, strong voice keeps the listener engaged even through the abrupt plot shifts. A.L.H. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
