The Longbridge Decision »

The sudden, inexplicable death of a senior partner at Wall Street's oldest and most prestigious law firm sparks an improbable chain reaction that rapidly includes the framing of a murder suspect, a relentless national manhunt, a shocking attempt to gain control of the U.S. Supreme Court and the uncovering of a covert labyrinth of deadly political decisions along the way.

Set against a fermenting backdrop of political and moral corruption that starts beneath the lone star of the Texas capitol building and stretches all the way to the office of the President of the United States itself, Robert M. Brown Jr.'s frighteningly plausible, lightning-paced thriller reveals an alarming and chilling vision of a theocratic United States of America that is just one decision short of becoming reality. One disturbing question remains, however - whose decision will it be?

Publishers Weekly

In his debut, Brown delivers a chillingly plausible thriller that ties Wall Street corruption to a plot threatening the foundations of the U.S. government. When she's implicated in the murder of a senior partner at her prestigious Wall Street law firm, young lawyer Mayson Corelli goes on the run, reluctantly enlisting the help of the firm's new star lawyer, the handsome but infuriating Tyler Waddill. Fleeing New York to pursue a lead, the duo fail to realize they stand in the way of a far-reaching conspiracy to stack the Supreme Court and transform America into a theocracy. As Mayson and Tyler cross-cross the nation, eluding police and the FBI, the cat-and-mouse games get ever more dangerous, escalating both the violence and plotting. Although Brown's story is engaging, readers may get frustrated with his leads' wooden bickering and an excessive number of plot twists.
