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 that someone 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. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Serial killer in the White House?What if the President of the United States was a serial killer? This is a possibility offered throughout this book as three separate people, finding themselves involved in some killings, slowly unpack events and discover a trail that leads to the White House. The three are Dana Cutler, a former cop who now works as a PI; Brad Miller, a young lawyer and Keith Evans, an FBI investigator. The story runs as we see each of these three working, unknown to each other, in parallel areas. When ...

Had I know that I would have Paid more from Amazon directly. Thanks, Rating:  - Grabbed ahold of my attention and didn't let go...Phillip Margolin is one of my favorite crime novelists, partly due to the fact he lives in my hometown of Portland, Oregon and usually places his stories there. I had the pleasure of finally getting to the top of the list at the library for his latest book Executive Privilege. I personally feel this is one of his best novels. It grabbed my attention and didn't let go until the final page. The story starts out with private investigator Dana Cutler taking what appears to be a simple job ... Read More Rating: - Fun but Do not Take it too SeriouslyThe story has been told by other reviewers, unfortunately one gave away the ending. The reviews are accurate. The story flows and kept me turning the pages. If one takes the time it really does not make any sense but it is summer and who cares. The characters are all predictable but that is what is expected. It is hard to rate this book but I gave it 4 stars because it delivers what is promised. The major question I have is why the prologue is there. It gives away a lot of the story ... Read More Rating: - Really Enjoyed!This was one really good page-turner. Eventhough I'd figured out who did what it still didn't detract from this well written novel. Once again, Mr Margolin has given us a wonderful, suspenseful, compelling read. I highly recommend.
