Synopsis

Includes a teaser excerpt from Capitol Murder, the third book in the Washington Trilogy!The first book in Phillip Margolin's New York Times bestselling Washington Trilogy, a powerful tale of murder that snakes its way through Washington, D.C.'s halls of power, leading straight to the White House and the most powerful office on earth.When private detective Dana Cutler is hired by an attorney with powerful political connections, the assignment seems simple enough: follow a pretty college student named Charlotte Walsh and report on where she goes and whom she sees. But then the unexpected happens. One night, Cutler follows Walsh to a secret meeting with Christopher Farrington, the president of the United States. The following morning, Walsh's dead body shows up and Cutler has to run for her life.In Oregon, Brad Miller, a junior associate in a huge law firm is working on the appeal of a convicted serial killer. Clarence Little, now on death row, claims he was framed for the murder of a teenager who, at the time of her death, worked for the then governor, Christopher Farrington. Suddenly, a small-time private eye and a fledgling lawyer find themselves in possession of evidence that suggests thatsomeone in the White House is a murderer. Their only problem? Staying alive long enough to prove it.Executive Privilege, with its nonstop action, unforgettable characters, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, proves once again that Phillip Margolin—whose work has been hailed as ""frighteningly plausible"" (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) and ""twisted and brilliant"" (Chicago Tribune)—belongs in the top echelon of thriller writers.

Goodreads review by Paul on February 23, 2025

A law firm was not the place for plans to bring down the President, the Chief Executive of the USA! EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE is a high-powered, absolutely gripping legal thriller built on dirty politics.

Goodreads review by Marvin on May 13, 2013

Executive Privilege is what some would call an airport novel or, a little less kind, a potboiler. Before you take that as a criticism, let me comment that there is a important need for potboilers. Man can not live on Pynchon alone. Sometime we need to escape into a world where good and bad is tightl......more

I made the mistake of not reading reviews carefully. If I had realized there was a serial killer in the story, I would have skipped the book. The protagonists of the story are Dana Cutler, a P. I., who had been a police officer. She lives in Washington, D. C. The other one is a young lawyer, Brad Mi......more

Goodreads review by Adrian on January 23, 2013

It's not a bad book, it just wasn't for me. I don't care for the style of writing; there's far to much telling instead of showing. I don't want a three paragraph backstory interrupting the action every time we meet a new character. There were too many point of view characters to really identify with......more

Goodreads review by Kevin on November 23, 2011

First of the series with Brad Miller and Dana Cutler. Thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Good introduction of characters, nice plot line that keeps you guessing and plenty of action. A real page turner. The story starts out as a young college student is murdered and is mutilated like a victim of a notor......more
