Book Description | A Legal Thriller - in a Russian Courtroom Drama Two CIA field operators obtain a bill of lading from an arms supplier in Moscow. Tracing the origin and destination of the weapons there is reason to believe a massive arms shipment has come into the U.S. through the Port of Long Beach. While their investigation proceeds, the CIA operatives are arrested in Russia and put on trial for stealing state secrets and murder. Michael Gresham appears in Moscow to defend them, but the trial turns into a kangaroo court of Russian justice. Corruption and undercover deceit threaten to put the Americans in front of a Russian firing squad. Every Lawyer Novel Needs a Trial The jury trial that follows is probably Michael's strangest case ever. People die and people disappear, secrets are stolen, and confessions are made, but...is any of this based on truth and reality? Or is everything a wall of disinformation meant to throw off the Americans and stymie all attempts at justice in the Russian court? Watch from your front-row seat as Michael takes on the KGB only to find the judge sending him to jail because he fought back in court. Everything is at risk here, as we look in on the American President, the NSA, the CIA, and DoD while the story accelerates to its exciting and shocking climax. |
Editorial Review | "John Ellsworth delivers again! With a plot as relevant as today's headlines, and gripping drama you will wish could not be true: Sakharov The Bear grabs ahold of you and won't let go until the last page. " "Mr Ellsworth has succeeded is writing a thoroughly engrossing novel in this, the latest in his Michael Gresham series. This time the lawyer and the reader are taken completely out of our comfort zone as Michael finds himself defending a CIA associate in Mother Russia, a cold hearted old woman who turns his universe inside out." "The versatility of John Ellsworth amazes me. He has created a totally believable read that could be true today, but is fiction. His research is top-notch into the inner workings of the Russian government. I have read every novel he has written. " "This books grabs you from the first page. Two CIA operatives are on a mission that goes terribly wrong. The location is Russia and we are introduced to the ugly side of the Russian penal system and justice system. The agents find themselves in a lot of trouble because they have killed the son of a man high up in the government. They are tracked down to a CIA safe house and immediately thrown into a Russian jail." |
