Publisher's summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The #1 bestselling author of While Justice Sleeps returns with another riveting and intricately plotted thriller, in which a blackmailed federal judge, a secret court and a brazen murder may lead to an unprecedented national crisis.

"Abrams delivers another smart, zippy thriller." —Washington Post

"A thoroughly compelling take on the machinations of Washington and those covetous of power." —New York Magazine

Supreme Court clerk Avery Keene is back, trying to get her feet on solid ground after unraveling an international conspiracy in While Justice Sleeps. But as the sparks of Congressional hearings and political skirmishes swirl around her, Avery is approached at a legal conference by Preston Davies, an unassuming young man and fellow law clerk to a federal judge in Idaho. Davies believes his boss, Judge Francesca Whitner, was being blackmailed in the days before she died. Desperate to understand what happened, he gives Avery a file, a burner phone, and a fearful warning that there are highly dangerous people involved.

Another shocking murder leads Avery to a list of names – all federal judges – and, alarmingly, all judges on the FISA Court (the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court), also known as America’s "secret court." It is this body which grants permission to the government to wiretap Americans or spy on corporations suspected of terrorism. As Avery digs deeper, she begins to see a frightening pattern – and she worries that something far more sinister may be unfolding inside the nation’s third branch of government. With lives at stake, Avery must race the clock and an unexpected enemy to find the answer.

Drawn from today’s headlines and woven with her unique insider perspective, Stacey Abrams combines twisting plotlines, wry wit, and clever puzzles to create another immensely entertaining suspense novel.

Loved the audiobook

Totally enjoyed this audio book the reader was excellent and kept me captivated. Stacy sure can tell a story while providing valuable information about our judicial system. Looking forward to book number 3 in this series. Hurry up Stacy so we can see what Avery, friends and associates are up to next.

Better than the first

I loved the plot of this audiobook better than the first one on this series. The narration is also wonderful.

Terrifyingly Delicious

The horror of every news report compiled with your certainty that this could not happen and then it did.

Kept my attention throughout the book!

I hadn't read the first book that this is a sequel to and don't feel like I missed out. This book is a stand alone that kept me riveted throughout the reading! The details, the elements, and the relevance to current events were superbly interwoven in this thriller! I highly recommend this book and I now have to read the first one!😁

Awesome!!!!

I enjoyed this book. I can't wait for the next one with Avery Keen to come out. The story was suspenseful from beginning to end. I love the narrator too.

It can all be compromised !

Hate the corrupt Prez once again fooling the citizens. Can honor ever be restored in America

Awful narration, great story

the narration was awful and distracted me from the story. It was a disservice to the great writing

The begging of a series

Such great intrigue with a well developed protagonist! There is so much left unresolved that there has to be more to come. Stacey Abrams is a new Louise Penny. —- Well written, great storyline.

Great read!

Loved this book! Kept me intrigued the whole time. Can't wait for the next title.

Nice listen.

Stacey Abrams has written a very good thriller. I enjoy her lead characters and the plot was interest. I will certainly purchase her next release.
