Part of Sisterhood, book 9

First published 2007

The Sisterhood lives in luxurious exile on a remote mountaintop, cut off from home after exposing former FBI director Mitch Riley's scheme against Judge Nellie Easter and lawyer Lizzie Fox. The seven women enjoy opulent surroundings but yearn to return to America. Their chance arrives through a desperate plea from Supreme Court Chief Justice Pearl Barnes, who faces blackmail over her own questionable judicial decisions. The Sisterhood must secretly reenter the United States and investigate without detection. Making seven distinctive women vanish proves challenging enough, but a persistent reporter threatens to expose their mission. Time runs short as the women work to protect the Chief Justice while evading capture. They must use all their cunning to create the perfect disappearing act and rescue Barnes from her blackmailers. The stakes climb higher as federal authorities close in and the reporter inches closer to breaking the story that could destroy them all.
