Acclaimed author of more than a dozen New York Times best-selling novels, Phillip Margolin draws upon his years as a trial lawyer to pen spellbinding legal thrillers. In Executive Privilege, murder most foul slithers its way to the White House. Hired by a prestigious D.C., attorney and Presidential confidant, ex-cop turned private eye Dana Cutler shadows campaign volunteer Charlotte Walsh-documenting the lovely political science major's whereabouts with pictures and voicemails. The boring surveillance becomes interesting one night when Charlotte has a clandestine meeting with the President of the United States. After the 19-year-old's mutilated body is found the next day, police conclude Charlotte's the latest victim of the D.C. Ripper. But Dana has evidence that implicates someone in the White House.
