Book Reviews of Executive Privilege CD

Book Review: A political fixer
Summary: 5 Stars

PI Dana Cutler was hired for a seemingly routine case, to tail a young woman and report on where she went and who she met. It was anything but routine when she found herself involved in a case where her life was threatened and she found herself on the run. A young woman has been killed and some very dangerous people are trying to clean up loose ends.

Brad Miller an associate in a Portland, Oregon, law firm has been given a pro bono case. It should be a slam dunk. But the convicted killer has an alibi that was never investigated. He may be an evil person, but on that particular night he claims to have been somewhere else, doing things he did not want to talk about in court.

The two cases are drawn together as links are made to the president and members of his personal entourage. If you are on the run, who can you trust if you have government assassins involved? And what do you do if you are ordered to drop the case?

A case of abuse of power, the novel has violence (most by description of events including some gory details, but some immediately happening), sexual content (mostly by reference) and some language consistent with the plot (but not a lot). It became a page turner as I got towards the end.

It did seem to digress a in places filling in details of some people's backgrounds; but it is generally a well written novel with a well developed plot.

Summary of Executive Privilege CD

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.
