"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.
"Entertaining... 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." -- Publishers Weekly "[An] intriguing glimpse into the inner workings of the court. As always with Margolin, roller-coaster plot propels the action along, with plenty of twists and turns to keep things interesting." -- The Portland Oregonian "Margolin's latest is a fast-paced yarn connecting a Supreme Court vacancy, a death row inmate, an ex-CIA chief and an attack on another Justice." -- New York Post, Required Reading "Get ready for a page-turning thriller... [It] will keep you guessing until the last page." -- National Examiner "A good old fashioned political thriller... Supreme Justice is a simple pleasure... An exciting and enjoyable mystery." -- Huffington Post "Margolin creates a tangled plot... The ending was deliciously devious." -- Bellingham Herald "A wry twist ending ... puts a legal cherry on top of this satisfying gulp of Supreme Justice." -- Clarion Ledger "Margolin has come up with a winning recipe for success: by combining his legal expertise and experience with attention-grabbing characters and surprising storylines, he's assured himself a secure spot in a genre known for keeping people guessing." -- Cascadia Weekly "Action speeds along through 65 fast-paced chapters with more bodies along the way... But don't think you can solve this one on your own. Just when you think it's wrapping up, there is another surprise." -- The Oklahoman
Phillip Margolin has written eighteen novels, many of them New York Times bestsellers, including the recent Worthy Brown's Daughter, Sleight of Hand, and the Washington Trilogy.
