Synopsis:

Forced to disappear, the seven members of the Sisterhood, who have taken vigilante justice to a new level, must sneak back into the U.S. to help Supreme Court Chief Justice Pearl Barnes, who is being blackmailed due to her own special brand of justice. Original.

Reviews: Over eight previous delectable novels, the seven members of the Sisterhood have exacted multiple pounds of flesh from men who have wronged them. Michaels's latest revenge fantasy finds them living in exile in Barcelona, where they receive word that Pearl Barnes, chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, will expose one of their contacts in the U.S. if they don't help her keep her own deep dark secret. Barnes runs an underground railroad for women and children who have been abused by their husbands and boyfriends, and her former son-in-law, Tyler Hughes, has threatened to expose her illegal activities if she doesn't throw an upcoming vote. The Sisterhood members are soon plotting to get back across the pond—no easy task, since they're wanted ladies—in order to swing into action and deliver revenge that's creatively swift and sweet, Michaels-style.

In Michaels’ new Sisterhood novel, the ladies are, once again, sequestered at their Spanish retreat, and dissension is the rule of the day. The women are realizing just how limited they are in their movements and what it truly means to be in exile as they begin to turn on each other. In the meantime, the second string of their ever-expanding group has got a case to work on. Pearl Barnes, a Supreme Court justice, is being blackmailed by her former son-in-law, who threatens to expose her involvement in an underground railroad for abused women if she doesn’t hand over a large amount of cash and rule a certain way in an upcoming Supreme Court decision. The ladies in Spain are needed, and, thanks to their mentor Charles Martin and his connections, their return to the U.S. is handled most creatively: the ladies are to pose as a rock group, the G-String Girls. Fans of the series will be pleased with the familiar combination of fun and vengeance in Michaels’ latest hit. --Maria Hatton
