A Syrian wedding party is mistakenly incinerated by a Hellfire missile fired from an American drone. Many are killed, but one survivor turns to an American lawyer for help in bringing the responsible parties to justice. The survivor is the bride-to-be and she is furious. Besides seeing justice done in an American court, she also is ready for payback of her own with a weapon of mass destruction. The American lawyer called on to obtain justice is Christine Susmann. Together with her lunch group known as Sisters In Law, the pursuit of justice begins. Old loves are re-visited by the sisters and new romances take root as their daily lives become focused on the Syrian wedding party gone awry. A trial follows. The accused are brothers who are oil-rich and looking to obtain Syrian oil for their own tankers. Christine decides to send them all to the bottom of the sea. Will this help her client heal? Or will it only rain down more sorrow on a broken life?… (more)

I didn't read part 1, so I will definitely be doing that. I read this book in one setting; it was that good! (Will be purchasing the others so I can get caught up.) John Ellsworth has managed to write a book that makes you feel like you are right there in the midst of the action. Christine is definitely someone I'd like on my side if I was ever in trouble.

It has the right amount of "sit on the edge of your seat, heart pounding drama", this book had me up all night, and I just couldn't put it down. (I've got the bags under my eyes to prove it!) The plot is well developed, and you can definitely identify with the characters!
I will be recommending this book to everyone who loves a good story, with lots of drama, deceit, and action!

Bravo Mr. Ellsworth, bravo! (
