Storms of Justice

A captivating legal thriller ripped from the headlines, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of While Justice Sleeps, in which a devastating accident in rural West Virginia launches Avery down a rabbit hole of corporate manipulation of government weather forecasting—and the looming dangers of privatization.

Former Supreme Court Clerk Avery Keene is thriving at her prestigious DC law firm job, and her personal and professional lives are both finally on track. But when her estranged cousin Quincy Miller seeks her help, Avery must rely on her sharpest investigatory intuition while going off the books, and behind her company’s back, to take the case. A terrible storm has destroyed a stretch of farms in West Virginia, and Quincy’s co-op faces collapse as members consider selling out to private equity. At the heart of it all is Tropos—a private weather data service with strange ties to the very private equity firm interested in scooping up Quincy’s land. Meanwhile in Washington, the president has launched her administration's first signature legislation: a national government privatization initiative that threatens to upend Avery’s investigation. When an influential local judge is murdered in the street, it appears that Avery herself is in the line of fire. Deeply researched, Stacey Abrams’s riveting new novel takes readers on a twisty, high-stakes mystery that stretches from West Virginia to the halls of Congress and the White House, and offers a nuanced examination of the dangerously underregulated ties between private companies and government.
