From the Inside Flap

The daughter of a prominent lawyer is found murdered, and a Supreme Court Justice with a sadomasochistic fetish is the target of Fiona FitzGerald's investigation. This is one case that brings Fiona to the darker side of the Washington scene in which sexual aberration and fear of exposure plays a role in murder. Fiona travels through the labyrinth of upper-crust Washington in pursuit of this powerful man, who may or may not be the killer, leading to a shocking finale.

The Ties That Bind is the sixth book in Warren Adler's Fiona FitzGerald series. The first mystery, American Quartet, was voted one of the New York Times top ten crime novels of the year. Try the other Fiona mysteries: American Sextet, Senator Love, Immaculate Deception, and The Witch of Watergate.

This review is from: The Ties That Bind (Fiona Fitzgerald Mysteries) (Hardcover)

This is another Fiona FitzGerald mystery that closely resembles the Levy/Condit story. (See my review under Warren Adler's Senator Love.) This time, it's a young intern to a Supreme Court Justice who is found brutally murdered. In my opinion, this is the best Fiona mystery to date. Intelligent, engrossing, and with no holds barred.
