Margolin likely didn’t mind that Max Allan Collins, author of Road to Perdition, used the same title for his book set in the Supreme Court. The premise will be frightening to many in this election year: a future where an extremely conservative president has stacked the high court, which has overturned Roe v. Wade and other “liberal” precedents. What’s admirable about this thriller is that Collins didn’t shy away from controversy and inevitably took flak from some in the red states.
