Book Description
In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict
against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small
town?s water supply, causing the worst ?cancer cluster? in history.
The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices
will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it.
Who are the nine? How will they vote? Can one be replaced before the
case is ultimately decided?
The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau,
and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough. With
judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a
seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the
bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau. Through an intricate web
of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young,
unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him,
and mold him into a potential Supreme Court justice. Their Supreme Court
justice.
The Appeal is a powerful, timely, and shocking story of political and
legal intrigue, a story that will leave listeners unable to think about
our electoral process or judicial system in quite the same way ever
again.
