Richard North Patterson, whose legal thrillers have won him legions of devo ted mystery fans, shows off his superb pacing and narrative gifts as well a s his ability to create vividly realized characters in this compelling nove l of late-term abortion, parental consent, and the battle over a nominee fo r chief justice of the Supreme Court. Unlike Patterson's typical courtroom dramas, the name of this game isn't murder; it's the body politic that's bl eeding. When newly elected Democratic president Kerry Kilcannon nominates a ppeals court judge Caroline Masters to the top spot on the court, he knows he'll have a fight on his hands. Leading the opposition is his political ri val, MacDonald Gage, the GOP majority leader who owes his soul and career t o the Christian right wing. They're suspicious of Masters even before a pol itically charged case involving a teenager whose parents refuse to allow he r to terminate a disastrous pregnancy ends up in her court. More principled than Gage, but equally adamant, is Republican senator Chad Palmer, who, li ke Masters, harbors his own potentially career-destroying secret.
