When legendary Washington judge Justice Wynn falls into a coma and puts his law clerk, Avery, in control, Avery's world is turned upside down. Because Justice Wynn had a secret. One that nobody wants to come out...
A life in the balance
As Wynn lies in hospital, Avery begins to unravel a sequence of clues, and realizes the puzzle will lead her directly into danger.
A showdown that will change everything
But how high a price can you put on the truth? And is Avery brave enough to expose the White House itself?
Wow, am I impressed. I was a little cautious stepping into this one, Stacey Abrams is a political rockstar, and I knew she had written many romance novels to moderate success, but writing a thriller is a particular skill set that authors just either have or they don’t, and believe me, she’s got it. This book is INTENSE, JUICY, and a page turner. I mean she threw everything at us here and I loved it. I was a little nervous at first, the beginning was a bit rocky, but get past the first 30-40 pages and the action really starts
This book is amazing. It has an excellent starting point. Full of suspense!
The pacing, plot development and character development are all good and it is a rollicking read from start to finish. For a first outing writing in this genre, Abrams delivers. She may not want to quit her day job in politics - and I don't know where she finds the time to write, given how busy she is with everything else that she does - but in my view, she could easily write crime and political thrillers full-time quite successfully. More, please!
