Avery Keene is a second-year clerk for Supreme Court Justice Howard Wynn, just trying to survive she can start searching for jobs after the term ends in June. But Wynn has different plans for her. Just as the court is preparing to release its final decisions (including one in which Wynn is the swing vote), Wynn slips into a coma and Avery learns that, inexplicably, she's been named as his legal guardian and given power of attorney over his life. He's also managed to pass along a few pieces to a puzzle that he thought would uncover an explosive political scandal. While Avery tries to determine if he's right or simply paranoid and senile, the FBI, Homeland Security, the White House, and the media are all banging down her door...and someone seems desperate to stop Avery's investigations.
This is a great political thriller that weaves together recent Supreme Court concerns, biotech innovations, addiction, and legal challenges, all with a well-realized cast of characters and a fast pace (slowed down only by a few sections of legalese). My only question: is there anything Stacey Abrams CAN'T do? Because she sure can write a fantastic thriller.
