Produktbeschreibung

2018 Book Excellence Award Finalist in the Suspense Category Alan Newberg, a staid title-company lawyer in the middle of a divorce, escapes to the French Riviera in an effort to reinvent himself. Instead, he catches a case of "careful what you ask for" when his soon-to-be-ex wife freezes his bank accounts. Without access to money, Newberg gets a job working for a crazy American ex-pat from Texas who owns a questionable vehicle-for-hire business that is at war with a local mob-run cab company. The ever-growing predicament leads to Alan being framed for murder and forces him to run the gauntlet of French criminal justice. His knight in shining armor is the five-year-old daughter of his newly found love and acts as his chief alibi witness. Chez Betty has everything from dark humor to romantic intrigue in a picturesque setting, all the while guiding the reader through a mysterious and unfamiliar court system.

Autorenporträt

Kenneth Farmer is a retired public defender and prosecutor. His first jury trial took place at the tender age of 19 when he was a witness at his brother's civil commitment proceeding. Though he has plenty of professional experience dealing with schizophrenia, it is his personal one that qualifies him the most to write this book. He actually went through the tears, disappointment, fear, shame, and blame that thousands of families of schizophrenics endure every day. As a result, he is able to describe with incredible accuracy the heartache as well as the legalities of this horrible problem. In addition to this memoir, Farmer has written two novels involving criminal justice: "Real Lawyers" and "Chez Betty."
