3 posts | 7 read | 7 to read
A Washington, D.C. lawyer and a frequent major media commentator on the Supreme Court, Anthony Franze delivers a high-stakes story of family, power, loss and revenge set within the insular world of the highest court of our country. Among Washington D.C. power players, everyone has secrets they desperately want to keep hidden, including Sean Serrat, a Supreme Court lawyer. Sean transformed his misspent youth into a model adulthood, and now has one of the most respected legal careers in the country. But just as he learns he's on the short list to be nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court, his daughter, Abby, a talented and dedicated law student, goes missing. Abby's lifeless body is soon found in the library of the Supreme Court, and her boyfriend, Malik Montgomery, a law clerk at the high court, is immediately arrested. The ensuing media frenzy leads to allegations that Malik's arrest was racially motivated, sparking a national controversy. While the Serrat family works through their grief, Sean begins to suspect the authorities arrested the wrong person. Delving into the mysteries of his daughter's last days, Sean stumbles over secrets within his own family as well as the lies of some of the most powerful people in the country. People who will stop at nothing to ensure that Sean never exposes the truth.

Really good book. A lot, and I mean a lot, of twists and turns. It‘s the first I‘ve read by this author and I will definitely be looking for more.

I loved this novel! I blazed through it. I could not put it down and I can't stop thinking about it now that I am done. I can't start another novel until I am done processing and digesting this one. Such a great read. I am an advocate of this book!

What's a Litten to do when she has hours of mindless spreadsheet work? Stock up on audiobooks from the library! My #somethingborrowed is the batch of audiobooks that I hope will help me pass the time while I tackle the neverending to do list at the office. I've already started The Passenger and I'm enjoying it so far! #booktober
