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 2044--a 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.
