Rule of law / by Singer, Randy(Randy D.),author.(CARDINAL)346774;
For the members of SEAL Team Six, it was a rare mission ordered by the president, monitored in real time from the Situation Room.

The rule of law [large print] / by Lescroart, John T.,author.(CARDINAL)352042;
When Dismas Hardy's secretary, Phyllis, displays out-of-character behavior, Hardy is concerned - especially when he learns that her convict brother has been released from prison. Then Phyllis is arrested as an accessory to the murder of Hector Valdez, a coyote who'd been smuggling Central American women into the country. Valdez was shot to death - on a day that Phyllis disappeared from work. The connection between Phyllis, her brother, and Hector's murder is not something Dismas can easily understand, but if his cherished colleague has any chance of going free, he needs to put all the pieces together - and fast.
