Guilty Minds (A Nick Heller Novel #3 of 4) by Joseph Finder 480 Pages
A supreme court justice is accused of having 3 tristes with a call girl at a famous hotel in the D.C. area and a lead reporter for a scandal sheet is ready to publish the story. Asking for the justices' side of the story, the justice bargains with the reporter to get 48 hours before the story is printed. Trying to get ahead of the story, Nick Heller, a private spy (former intelligence operative hired by lawyers, politicians and even foreign governments to get them out of jams by doing whatever it takes to get to the heart of career damaging situations) is recommended to him as the go to guy to get him out of this jam. The justice maintains his innocence in the situation, swears he does not know the woman and has never stayed at a hotel in town since he lives in town there is no need. The call girl maintains he definitely hired her, the hotel records show a room was booked in his name on the dates in question but when questioned the call girl couldn't tell Nick if the judge was circumcised or not. Was she being coy? Was she protecting the privacy of the customer? Or is there something more devious going on? Really good story. This book will stand alone although I just found out it is part of a 4 book series. Nick Heller is an excellent character and I really enjoyed this book enough to want to read the other books in the series. I would recommend this one to mature teens on up.
