Publisher Description
On a cold day in January, President-elect Kerry Kilcannon takes the oath of office—and within days makes his first, most important move: appointing a new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Kilcannon’s choice is a female judge with a brilliant record. And a secret.
While the Senate spars over Caroline Masters’s nomination, an inflammatory abortion rights case is making its way toward the judge—and will explode into the headlines. Suddenly, the most divisive issue in America turns the President’s nomination into all-out war. And from Judge Masters to a conservative, war-hero senator facing a crisis of conscience and a fifteen-year-old girl battling for her future, no one will be safe.

Protect and Defend
A page turner from the beginning, I liked the characters a lot, especially Chad Palmer. His intelligence, smooth and charm made him an ideal man to be able to straddle many political fences and keep his eyes open and facing forward. I learned a lot about late term abortion, about which I knew nothing. I learned even more about the inner workings of the Senate and the White House, some of which I wish I didn’t know.

Realy well researched book. Anyone interested in the political and legal posturing by Congress will be unable to put this book down! Even though the book is a work of fiction, the maneuvering by the members of Congress is based on real strategies. The personal conflicts are fought wil spellbinding details. Other than a murder mystery, you won't find better intrique anywhere.
