[8], 376 pages. Signed by the author (Stephen Horn) on the title page. Small crease at top corner of rear dust jacket. Stephen Horn was born in the Bronx, New York, and received an engineering degree from Rutgers University. He commanded an infantry company of the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam. As a prosecutor in the justice Department's Civil Rights Division, he tried criminal cases and participated in some of the department's most famous investigations, including the killing of four Kent State students by the Ohio National Guard and the assassination of Dr. martin Luther King Jr. This debut novel is an intense, riveting debut thriller with a twist. The author brings his knowledge of law and government to stunning life with this absorbing story of love, betrayal, and murder. Derived from a Kirkus review: A burned-out attorney, a beguilingly suspicious client, an impossible case-looks like it's time for another battle-of-the-century legal thriller. The best news Francis O'Connell's had since he left his wife Moira and his son Brendan is the visit from socialite Ashley Bronson, under arrest for shooting former Agriculture Secretary Raymond Garvey, who liked Frank's looks when she saw him handling a nothingburger defendant in the next cell. The worst news he's had is Ashley's response to his request for information: "I killed him." Convinced that old family friend Garvey had hounded her father to suicide, she let herself into his D.C. apartment with her own key and plugged him. The cops don't have her confession, of course, but they do have her prints on the murder weapon and an eyewitness who puts her at the scene minutes after the shooting. But they don't have Frank, who walked away from his beloved father-in-law's firm and from his lovely, loving wife because he preferred fighting for things to getting them handed to him. They don't have Frank's can-do team of investigators, who could have held off the invasion of Wake Island. And they don't have the beauteous Ashley, who, as far as the rapidly smitten Frank is concerned, had every moral right to shoot her father's old friend-especially given the murky, preposterous, decades-old conspiracy they both turn out to have been involved in. Horn's debut places him above Gallatin Warfield and up near Jay Brandon in the field of legal intrigue.
