From the first page, this book's author grabs the reader and they careen down the highway at a break-neck speed. The stakes are high for the Supreme Court Chief Justice and Nick Heller has 48 hours to squash the lies. This is Nick Heller's third or fourth job, depending on the numbering system you use (see book list below).
Nick Heller has opened his own business and business is still a bit slow. Thus, he is surprised when one of the most lauded and influential men in America asks for Nick's help. But Nick has the savvy and the training to take on this difficult and sensitive case. One interesting aspect of this story is watching how the Internet and 24 hour news reporting has changed politics in DC. The Slander Sheet, an online news service with a shadowy owner, shines a glaring light on the hypocrisy and lies in Tinseltown and the nation's capital. They have the Chief Justice in their sights but offer to hold the story for 2 days.
It is when Nick and his team try to find the power behind the lies that things go sideways. Nick meets crooked ex-cops, a threatened (then murdered) call girl and a gung-ho news reporter who is about to lose her journalistic reputation.
This is an exciting story with lots of loops and twists. However, when Nick turns his attention to the power behind the bogus story, the culprit seems obvious.
