“Luckily, I started the book more than a decade ago and I had an extraordinary editor,” she says. She’s been writing romance novels since her time at Yale Law School - but she managed to write this new thriller in the midst of the 2020 election cycle, in which she played a pivotal role. “And I said, no, I’d never really given it thought that Article III, which is the only provision in the Constitution that gives someone a lifetime appointment, has no failsafe for a person being physically unable to do the job.” “One day she was just musing about this strange phenomenon in the Constitution, and she asked me if I had ever thought about it for a book,” Abrams recalls. Yes, that Stacey Abrams, the Georgia politician, and she’s written a thriller ripped straight from the headlines - inspired by a conversation over lunch with her mentor. A Supreme Court justice is gravely ill, ideological control of the court hangs in the balance - throw in a ruthless president and an international conspiracy, and what you have is the plot of Stacey Abrams’s new novel, While Justice Sleeps.
