Such a exciting book that kept me guessing to the end. I highly recommend reading it. ( ) I had the book in my possession for two months, and delayed reading it, thinking it'd be "ok", but probably just another military action adventure like so many others. Now, I regret the delay. It ended up being a very good legal thriller, filled with courtroom drama, a likeable ex-marine lawyer defending a French helicopter company in a wrongful death / fraud lawsuit, an easy to dislike opponent who was an unethical class-action lawyer, no superhuman hero character, some suspense and intrigue, and a smattering of international politics. I think if you like the style of Scott Turow and John Grisham, you'd like this book too. Great Action & Thrilling Story! Listened on Audible Audio. The story begins with the crash of Marine One Helicopter and killing the President. The court drama to indict World Com - a French manufacturer of the helicopter with a high power NY class action attorney representing the First Lady & the widows of the Pilots & secret service also killed in the crash against a small D.C. litigation Attorney representing the Manufacturer. Excellent Narration and Story Line - in this day in age even more conceivable and believable! Expecting a book about flying adventure and helicopters, I got a legal drama. Despite the book's wrapping in the banality of the legal process, the theme and exciting plot continued until the very end. I thought that a couple of the lawyers ought to be taken out back and shot, but that is the talent of the author coming through. Teased with innuendo and crammed with facts, the book is a winner.

Fiction.
Suspense.
"Bestseller Huston (Secret Justice) grabs the reader by the lapels with the opening sentence of the first chapter of this outstanding thriller....This is nonstop legal suspense at its best.".
HTML: Late at night, the president rushes through the pounding rain to Marine One. His advisors plead with him not to fly, but he insists. He has arranged a meeting that only three people in his administration know about. In the midst of a brutal thunderstorm on the way to Camp David, Marine One crashes into a ravine, killing all aboard. When the government blames the European manufacturer of the helicopter for killing the president, Mike Nolan, a Marine Corps Reserve helicopter pilot and trial attorney, is hired to defend the company. What begins as a criminal investigation soon becomes the highest-profile trial of the century, as the First Lady sues the company for wrongful death. To clear his client, Nolan must find out what really caused Marine One to crash, and why the president threw caution aside to go to a meeting no one seems to know about. Marine One expertly mixes political intrigue with courtroom drama and fast-paced action. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
