Resumen del Editor

Peter Rena is a "fixer". He and his partner, Randi Brooks, earn their living making the problems of the powerful disappear. They get their biggest job yet when the White House hires them to vet the president's nominee for the Supreme Court. Judge Roland Madison is a legal giant, but he's a political maverick, with views that might make the already tricky confirmation process even more difficult. Rena and his team go full-bore to cover every inch of the judge's past, while the competing factions of Washington, DC, mobilize with frightening intensity: ambitious senators, garrulous journalists, and wily power players on both sides of the aisle.

All of that becomes background when a string of seemingly random killings overlaps with Rena's investigation, with Judge Madison a possible target. Racing against the clock to keep his nominee safe, the president satisfied, and the political wolves at bay, Rena learns just how dangerous Washington's obsession with power - how to get it and how to keep it - can be.

Written with razor-sharp political insight and heart-pounding action, Shining City is a hugely impressive debut that announces a major new talent.

Just ok

I'm not giving this a big thumbs up, although it was suspenseful and entertaining. The narrator definitely was a disappointment. Awful with female voices, a bit slow in the reading.

A fast paced thriller about a Supreme Court nominee

Well written, highly visual language makes this book ideal for audio. It’s effortless to picture the characters and scenes and easy to follow action scenes. I enjoy political dramas; this was a very good example!

Of All the Surnames...

Why did the author choose to name the protagonist "Rena?" Ninety nine percent of the time the story refers to the character by his surname. And every time, and I mean every time it registers in my brain as being a female. Of the thousands and thousands of surnames, why that one? It's like he named the character Frank Rose, Frank Jane or Frank Belinda etc. Story is fine but I wish Rosenstiel would take a mulligan. Yes, a small thing perhaps but it's really annoying, at least for an audio rendition.

Smart political triller

So well done! So relevant and engaging. Hoping this starts a series. Want more from this author, and these characters.
