In the first inside account of the Mueller investigation, one of the special counsel’s prosecutors breaks his silence on the team’s history-making search for the truth, their painstaking deliberations and costly mistakes, and Trump’s unprecedented efforts to stifle their report.

What The Reviewers Say

Devlin Barrett,
The Washington Post
For nearly two years, the least knowable place in Washington was the office of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, as he and his team investigated President Trump and his allies. Where Law Ends sets aside the secrecy that long shielded them, revealing a team of prosecutors whose mission, in their minds, was always in jeopardy.
Jennifer Szalai,
The New York Times
There’s something refreshing about an author who harbors no illusions about his own book — especially when that book is about the current occupant of the White House, whose chaotic energy has spawned a booming industry of insider accounts and cris de coeur.
Lloyd Green,
The Guardian (UK)
... unique among Trump-themed books. The author was a member of Mueller’s team, supervisor of the prosecution of Paul Manafort. He is both admiring and critical of his former boss, which lends credibility and originality. Pathos is part of the package too.
