eve_primeWhile Justice Sleeps, by Stacey Abrams. Unlike her romance novels, this thriller was published under her own name. Apparently she wrote it ten years ago, before she was famous. Sure, there are flaws, but it's a page-turner and I enjoyed it.
It starts rather oddly. We begin with a Supreme Court justice with serious mental issues, and it takes a while to learn that he's a good guy, though he spends the rest of the book in a coma. He's devised a complicated puzzle for his law clerk to solve, which would both address the problems caused by a seriously bad president and save the life of the son he abandoned. The law clerk, our heroine, is struggling to get through life with a junkie mother, but she has quite a few traits the justice valued. It all moves at a very fast pace!
