After giving up a promising, though demanding route to a political career, cool, ambitious Kathleen Talbot, the "Ice Queen" of the public prosecutor's office, accepts a judgeship in its place. Her powerful father is so infuriated by her choice that he suffers a series of massive strokes, and it's Kathleen's awful duty to decide whether he should be taken off life-support systems. Assigned to a mercy killing case by a spiteful superior, she is tormented by her personal ethical dilemma and is made the target of several unbalanced individuals, both inside and outside the court.

This book was originally published in 1987 and it has a dated feel in the way men treated women during that time. I don't dispute that this attitude was real, just that so many years later it almost seems unbelievable. I think William Coughlin is a good writer and normally I love courtroom thrillers. This story was fairly predictable so there were no surprises. There were way too many characters and several subplots that kept this from being a page turner. Overall, I enjoyed the story and and it was an interesting glimpse into the judicial system. ( )
