Resumen del Editor

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The #1 bestselling author of While Justice Sleeps returns with another riveting and intricately plotted thriller, in which a blackmailed federal judge, a secret court and a brazen murder may lead to an unprecedented national crisis.

"Abrams delivers another smart, zippy thriller." —Washington Post

"A thoroughly compelling take on the machinations of Washington and those covetous of power." —New York Magazine

Supreme Court clerk Avery Keene is back, trying to get her feet on solid ground after unraveling an international conspiracy in While Justice Sleeps. But as the sparks of Congressional hearings and political skirmishes swirl around her, Avery is approached at a legal conference by Preston Davies, an unassuming young man and fellow law clerk to a federal judge in Idaho. Davies believes his boss, Judge Francesca Whitner, was being blackmailed in the days before she died. Desperate to understand what happened, he gives Avery a file, a burner phone, and a fearful warning that there are highly dangerous people involved.

Another shocking murder leads Avery to a list of names – all federal judges – and, alarmingly, all judges on the FISA Court (the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court), also known as America’s "secret court." It is this body which grants permission to the government to wiretap Americans or spy on corporations suspected of terrorism. As Avery digs deeper, she begins to see a frightening pattern – and she worries that something far more sinister may be unfolding inside the nation’s third branch of government. With lives at stake, Avery must race the clock and an unexpected enemy to find the answer.

Drawn from today’s headlines and woven with her unique insider perspective, Stacey Abrams combines twisting plotlines, wry wit, and clever puzzles to create another immensely entertaining suspense novel.

The begging of a series

Such great intrigue with a well developed protagonist! There is so much left unresolved that there has to be more to come. Stacey Abrams is a new Louise Penny. —- Well written, great storyline.

Great read!

Loved this book! Kept me intrigued the whole time. Can't wait for the next title.

Great sequel

A good sequel to the first Avery Keene book switch is very compelling and has interesting parallels to today’s society. I look forward to more.

Nice listen.

Stacey Abrams has written a very good thriller. I enjoy her lead characters and the plot was interest. I will certainly purchase her next release.

Entertaining

I Enjoyed listening to Rogue Justice. The narrator did a great job. Stacy Abrams is an excellent writer.

Good but…

As much as I liked the first book and Avery, she became a tad annoying in the second. I’d like to see her back doing SCOTUS business. Still, a generally entertaining read , er, listen, but not as good as the first book. No doubt that Stacey Abrams can write!

What a great story.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I was captivated and interesting through the whole novel. It’s wonderful. Stacy is an excellent writer. I look forward to her next project.

Realistic Fiction makes me Question National Cybersecurity

Stacey Abrams' second book featuring Avery Keene was the thriller I hoped it would be. If you watch national news, keep an eye on the U.S. presidential elections and its appointments, and have a basic understanding of information technology, you may enjoy this book. There are a lot of acronyms that Abrams does her best to explain, but I might still have benefitted from a visual of all of the characters and their affiliations. The narration by Adenrele Ojo was exemplary. She managed a number of tones, accents, and rhythms for each character, helping to keep their conversations clear as the text was being read. I'm going to look for more audiobooks with Ojo narrarating.

Loved the audiobook

Totally enjoyed this audio book the reader was excellent and kept me captivated. Stacy sure can tell a story while providing valuable information about our judicial system. Looking forward to book number 3 in this series. Hurry up Stacy so we can see what Avery, friends and associates are up to next.

Kept my attention throughout the book!

I hadn't read the first book that this is a sequel to and don't feel like I missed out. This book is a stand alone that kept me riveted throughout the reading! The details, the elements, and the relevance to current events were superbly interwoven in this thriller! I highly recommend this book and I now have to read the first one!😁
