    Book Description:   

    In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town's water supply, causing the worst "cancer cluster" in history. The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it. Who are the nine? How will they vote? Can one be replaced before the case is ultimately decided?

    The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough.With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau. Through an intricate web of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mould him into a potential Supreme Court justice. Their Supreme Court justice.

    "The Appeal" is a powerful, timely, and shocking story of political and legal intrigue, a story that will leave listeners unable to think about the electoral process or judicial system in quite the same way ever again.

    中文簡介:   

    美國密西西比州一家化學公司,被指控在一個小鎮的重要水源傾倒有毒廢水,導致當地居民罹患癌癥。這家公司上訴到密西西比最高法院,將由九名法官在深思熟慮后,決定到底是批準還是駁回原來的判決。這九名法官是誰?他們會怎么投票?在最后判決之前,這些法官是否有可能換人?

    這家化學公司的老板Carl Trudeau,人稱“華爾街禿鷹”。卡爾確信法院的態度對他相當不利。在司法選舉之際,卡爾決定為自己買到法院的“一席之地”,只要花區區幾百萬美元,對擁有上億身價的卡爾來說是九牛一毛。

    透過充滿陰謀與欺騙的政治網絡操弄,卡爾選上一名年輕的法官候選人,資助他、塑造他、控制他、“行銷”他,讓這個年輕人得以進入最高法院,成為卡爾在九名法官團之中的暗樁。
