Executive Privilege is another great read by Phillip Margolin who writes suspense novels using lawyers, FBI agents and police to tie up a plausible tale of murder and conspiracy.

Dana Cutler is a private investigator hired to follow a young college student who ends up getting murdered. Her murder is made to look like that of a serial killer who is currently stalking the streets of Washington DC, but Dana knows the truth and moreso, has the proof of who really did it.

Meanwhile, across the continent, junior associate Brad Miller is assigned to the pro bono case of one Clarence Little a three-time convicted murderer who oddly enough is insistent that one of the murders he was convicted of he didn’t commit. Despite Brad’s reluctance to get involved in the case, his digging into it finds the grisly proof that Little isn’t guilty and what’s more points an accusing finger at the real killer.

Is it President Farrington who orchestrated these murders or his aide and loyal friend, Charles Hawkins?
