What did the president know? And when did she know it?
Did the president play political games with the lives of U.S. service members?
Paige Chambers, a determined young lawyer, has a very personal reason for wanting to know the answer. The case she files will polarize the nation and test the resiliency of the Constitution. The stakes are huge, the alliances shaky, and she will be left to wonder if the saying on the Supreme Court building still holds true.
Equal justice under law.
It makes a nice motto. But will it work when one of the most powerful people on the planet is also a defendant?
I’ve not read many of Randy Singer’s novels, but after reading Rule of Law this weekend, that’s about to change! Rule of Law weighs in at a hefty 480 pages, but I flew through it in a single day – I couldn’t put it down! It’s like the best of Joel C. Rosenberg and Dee Henderson and NCIS all rolled into one.
Singer caught me up in the romance of the story at the very beginning. Patrick was a chivalrous leading man, and I couldn’t wait to learn more about him – except that then the story took a crazy turn, and we left Dee Henderson and moved into NCIS, all forensics and research and mystery. After a while, though, as resolution neared, with me still cheering on Paige and Kristen, we moved into Rosenberg territory, as Middle Eastern culture and tradition and faithful double agents came into play. There was no part of the story where I felt lost, confused, or bored; instead, I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next, and even when I thought I knew, I found myself surprised on the next page.
I’m not a political person, but Singer made me understand and care about the issues within this book, and he wrote it in such a way that it was both suspenseful and exciting.
If you read any new suspense novel at all this fall, make it Rule of Law!
