New York Times bestselling author Phillip
Margolin is back, this time with a powerful tale of murder
that snakes its way through Washington, D.C.'s halls of
power, leading straight to the White House and the most
powerful office on earth.
When private detective
Dana Cutler is hired by an attorney with powerful political
connections, the assignment seems simple enough: follow a
pretty college student named Charlotte Walsh and report on
where she goes and whom she sees. But then the unexpected
happens. One night, Cutler follows Walsh to a secret meeting
with Christopher Farrington, the president of the United
States. The following morning, Walsh's dead body shows up
and Cutler has to run for her life.
In Oregon, Brad
Miller, a junior associate in a huge law firm is working on
the appeal of a convicted serial killer. Clarence Little,
now on death row, claims he was framed for the murder of a
teenager who, at the time of her death, worked for the then
governor, Christopher Farrington. Suddenly, a small-time
private eye and a fledgling lawyer find themselves in
possession of evidence that suggests that someone in
the White House is a murderer. Their only problem? Staying
alive long enough to prove it.
Executive
Privilege, with its nonstop action, unforgettable
characters, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, proves once
again that Phillip Margolin—whose work has been hailed as
"frighteningly plausible" (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
and "twisted and brilliant" (Chicago Tribune)—belongs
in the top echelon of thriller writers.
