Four Seats: A Thriller of the Supreme Court (Part One of Six)

"Cooley has taken his seat beside Child, DeMille and Grisham."

Each year on the first Monday of October, the Supreme Court reconvenes for another new term. But this year, the first Monday brings only terror and tragedy, as six bombs tear through their temple of law, killing 124 people.

Homeland Security immediately brands Supreme Court Police officer Jason Lancaster as their prime suspect. Jason must go on the run to find the persons responsible for the attack – and for the murder of his fiancée, Supreme Court Marshal Miranda Whitney.

Meanwhile, former First Lady Rosemarie Irving volunteers to assist the current President in nominating replacements for the four Justices lost in the tragedy. Is her motivation the lasting legacy of her husband, or something more nefarious?

Part legal potboiler, part HOUSE OF CARDS dealmaking drama, part 24-esque espionage cliffhanger, FOUR SEATS is an enthralling new entry to the conspiracy thriller tradition.

OTHER REVIEWS:
“Cooley delivers again. A riveting political thriller that is somehow educational and page-turning at the same time. I didn’t know I could care this much about the appointment of judges, but Cooley took me there.”
- Dave Callaham, Screenwriter of GODZILLA and THE EXPENDABLES

“I was sucked in on page one, riveted on page 12, and a full-fledged Aaron Cooley fan club member by page 37. I would say this book had me on the edge of my seat, but I happened to be lying down while reading it. This has the makings of a classic, will surely be on the small screen at some point, and I can’t wait to watch it when it gets there. If you read one book before you die, you should probably read the bible. But if you have time for two, read FOUR SEATS by Aaron Cooley.”
- Jeremy Garelick, Writer-Director of THE WEDDING RINGER

“Cooley writes with knowledge and skill about a shadowy world few truly understand… at times richly emotional, hilarious, and challenging… bears the hard weight of both a political and personal mystery that demands we all ultimately consider where we are, and what comes next.”
- Eric Lodal, Creator/Executive Producer, TNT’s MURDER IN THE FIRST

“Mr. Cooley has crafted a smart, tension-filled thriller reminiscent of John Grisham and Tom Clancy that exudes authenticity and kept me glued to the page. I was thoroughly riveted and found FOUR SEATS nearly impossible to put down.”
- Lee Clay, Producer of NO GOOD DEED and DEMONIC
