Description

This is actually the most discussed hype debut in years: a sizable, suspense-packed thriller that's also a book of brilliantly astute social observation concentrating on two intriguing worlds: that of the Brand New York-Wa dark upper-middle class, and the complicated world of an Ivy-League law school. Judge Oliver Garland has simply died in suspicious circumstances. Traditional and once controversial, Garland has created several enemies. A long time previously, he'd earned a judge's highest prize: a Supreme Court nomination.
