A while back, Amazon had a special on the Kindle version of Supreme Justice by Max Allan Collins.  I had never read any of his work before, but have been sitting on his graphic novel, Road to Perdition, for years now, so I decided to take a chance and purchase this novel.  And I’m glad I did.

In the not-so-distant future, Supreme Justice tells the story of a former Secret Service agent brought in to join an FBI task force when multiple conservative Supreme Court justices are murdered in an effort to change the court’s makeup with a liberal President in office.  Working with a new partner, he must figure out who is planning these attacks, especially once his daughter is kidnapped to get him off the case.

Collins put together a pretty tight story here, one I was surprised to have enjoyed as much as I did.  It looks like the beginning of a new series, with the second installment due out next month, so I may just have to check it out, assuming I can find it for a good deal.
