The Longbridge Decision Written by Robert M Brown, Jr

This terrific story can be related to some of The United States leadership problems from the presidential election of 2008, only sort of in reverse. This story involves the power struggle from the president, through the Supreme Court, the FBI, and several key lawyers, only their powerful cause is to the far right of conservative extremism. When President Thomas Longbridge brought on board some of his choices for those positions, he tapped, knowingly or not, into some extreme evangelists that thought the nation needed turned around by ANY means to an extreme religious right. Seth Harrington was a very close advisor and longtime friend who was a lifelong Christian evangelist and founder and chairman of the CMA, Christians for a Moral America. If Harrington advised the person or policy to fill a need of the evangelist, Longbridge pretty well went along with him on his decisions.Mayson Angelini Corelli was an attorney with one of the largest law firms, Lieber Allen Attorneys. Gre
gory Lamp was the managing partner who also became the nominee for the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Also key members of the firm were Tyler Waddill and Morris Mendelsohn. There are several other key characters in this book and you will meet them as you read. This is a case of superb writing where you have quite a few characters but you do not get lost as scenes change. When Morris Mendelsohn was found in his apartment murdered, the firm was shocked and when the key suspect was one of the firms' members, Mayson Corelli, they had mixed feelings. Some felt that she had killed Mendelsohn while others deliberately pointed a finger at her so they could advance their conspiracy. Besides, Mayson had a family history of organized crime that placed some of her family in prison while some were killed. She could be found guilty of this murder very easily with her background.When the authorities appeared at the law office, Mayson was interviewed and became a top suspect when t
he news was spread that she had been seen at the murdered mans apartment very recently. Mayson knew her goose was cooked if she allowed herself to be arrested on a murder that she knew she didn't commit so she fled the office and hid in various places. When one of the other key law firm members, Tyler Waddill, heard of all the so called evidence against Mayson, he found her and took her into his confidence, hiding her as well as he could. Mayson didn't know how much to trust him. She didn't know if he was in a conspiracy to let her be arrested or if he really wanted to help her.When the authorities closed in on Mayson in a location, Tyler would move her, sometimes in plain sight. Tyler continued to work at the firm explaining various reasons for his missing time occasionally. Eventually the hunt got too close and they had to flee the area, many times taking them into some harsh weather conditions and some extremely difficult hiking and running away, while eluding several law
authorities. Meanwhile the extremists continued trying to hide evidence that would point to some of them as they told the nation that they were doing all of this for religious correction in the nation. Even killing innocent people became necessary for some of these religious and righteous leaders (?) without any good law abiding excuse but always showing they were doing the right thing. Mayson knew there was evidence that would prove who the real killers were, if she could find it before she was caught.Here I will stop so I don't ruin the plots of this tremendous book. It is fast paced and full of surprises. No falling asleep while reading Robert Brown's book. When I saw the size of this book I hoped it would not turn out to be a strung out story with no connections from front to back. Believe me, it wasn't! Robert M. Brown, Jr., please give us another great book to follow this one. I also very much like the paper it was printed on and the easy-to-read print font.
