Description
Who wins when a Justice disappears?
On the eve of a historic Supreme Court ruling, Justice J.J. Richter disappears—and the balance of power in Washington shifts overnight. The kidnapping draws investigative reporter Mort Ahrens and environmental-law professor Danni Rose into a widening conspiracy that connects corporate interests, political operatives, federal investigators, and forces willing to kill to control the Court’s decision. As Mort follows the story and Danni searches for the legal and personal motives behind the crime, each new discovery raises a more dangerous question: Who benefits when a single justice is removed from the bench?
Blending legal intrigue, political suspense, and an urgent race against time, Holding Court introduces Danni and Mort in the first mystery of Alan Miller’s intelligent, fast-moving series.
