by Elie Honig
“[A] deeply researched, keenly analytical, and frequently provocative chronicle of this singular judicial entity. . . . A senior legal analyst for CNN and former assistant U.S. attorney, Honig is well-suited to the task of providing a historical overview of the special counsel’s function with the ever-evolving context of politics, partisanship and political skepticism.” —Booklist (STARRED review)
“A fascinating, fast-paced insider’s account….[a] riveting, deeply reported book.” —Anderson Cooper
“Every page hums with gripping anecdotes and breaking news journalism.” —Douglas Brinkley

In When You Come at the King, CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig delivers a fast-paced, insider’s account of the most important Justice Department investigations…”
