This short novel, narrated by a Solicitor General of the United States and other senior government officials, spins a tale about the interaction of law, politics, and terrorism in Washington, DC during the period from 1944 to 2044a century encompassing the end of World War II, the financial meltdown in 2008, repeated later attacks on the Supreme Court, and dramatic changes in the political landscape.
Designed to be a fast read, the novella challenges the reader to solve a murder mystery before the text does, making it a good choice for a short plane or train trip. The photo on the front cover predates the crime, but shows the aftermath.
