What happens when you witness a member of one of America's most prominent families commit a rape? Do you go to the police? Or keep quiet? The main character in Crime of Privilege faces just this dilemma ... and his decision has an unbelievable impact on the rest of his life. The intersection between power and corruption is pretty wide, and the plot stretches the bounds of plausibility just far enough that you wonder, could this really happen? Are some people in our country powerful enough to manipulate so many lives? This is a first-rate thriller. I couldn't put it down.

I received this book as an advance readers' copy from Random House. Publication date is June 2013.
