Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Waiting for the sequel
Review: Sex inside the Supreme Court, who'd have thought it? Justice Sam Truitt sure doesn't look like William Rehnquist, and his law clerk, Lisa Fremont, is as beautiful as she is smart. This is a fresh kind of legal thriller. Behind the red velvet drapes of our highest court lurks corruption, seduction, and betrayal. I loved it and hope there's a sequel!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Sizzler!
Review: Smart and sexy, this one sizzles. A convincing legal thriller. Justice Sam Truitt shines whether in the Supreme Court outwitting his fellow Justices or in the Everglades learning the truth behind a multi-million dollar case. Tell the author to bring Truitt back for an encore.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 9 Scorpions. Great read. Informative. Entertaining.
Review: This is one of those rare books that enlightens while it entertains. The view of the inner sanctum of the U.S. Supreme Court reveals details not known by most Americans. The story is suspenseful and exciting; the characters are extremely well-drawn.

Summary: This is a soap opera, somewhat unrealistic failure.
Review: We found the book to be formula in nature, can you imagine a supreme court judge, already guilty of sexual harassment hiring another bimbo! Evil bad guys, but just not believable. Read Martini instead.

Summary: Seduction and Corruption at the Supreme Court
Review: What really goes on behind the velvet drapes and marble pillars of the U.S. Supreme Court? Can the one institution that seems immune to scandal be corrupted? Those are the questions that led to "9 Scorpions," a tale of betrayal and redemption at the nation's highest Court.

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes called his contentious brethren "nine scorpions in a bottle," but I discovered that the real stingers belong to the law clerks. These bright young lawyers advise the Justices which cases to hear, then write the first drafts of their opinions. What if an outsider "owned" a law clerk? Could a brilliant and seductive female clerk steal a Justice's vote along with his heart? Could a case be fixed? And what should the Court do when adherence to the law will result in injustice?

To answer those questions, I spent months researching the Court, interviewing former clerks, watching oral arguments, even shooting buckets on the basketball court! one floor above the courtroom, truly the "highest court" in the land. I immersed myself in the history of the marble palace, a building that seems more like a holy cathedral than a courthouse. The result in "9 Scorpions." It is a tale of love and loss, passion and villainy, sin and forgiveness. The story exposes the conflicts between a law clerk's tainted past and her new ideals, between a judge's notions of rigid law and a more compassionate justice. I hope the book is as enjoyable to read as it was to write.
