The election of the first African American president of the United States has awakened the Ku Klux Klan from a long slumber. The Supreme Court has been asked to reconsider its most racially-charged decision of the decade by the president's main political rival. That rival harbors a deep, dark secret ... a secret that only the nation's highest court can expose.And Peter McDonald, the recently widowed law professor the president has nominated to the Court, is in for the fight of his life ... From the power politics that drive the nation's capital, to the racial hatred that fuels the KKK, Mr. Justice is a rocket-paced legal thriller about two worlds on a deadly collision course.
