Produktbeschreibung
A brazen daylight kidnapping of a Supreme Court Justice at term's end to keep him from being the critical deciding vote in a monumental environmental issue ushers in a spine-tingling and bizarre set of events, leading all the way to the White House. The Court is compromised, a Court official is mysteriously murdered, a DNA mix-up results in the wrong man being charged in a triple murder, as the scene shifts between four states, in action-packed adventure which includes drones, illegal surveillance and eavesdropping, high tech weaponry, spying, a ransom, and a cast iron frying pan which becomes a weapon. A young reporter and his professor/fiancee lead readers through a dizzying series of events while the kidnap victim lies in a coma, with suspects everywhere. It's all topped off with an incredible surprise ending.
Autorenporträt
Alan Miller began his love of journalism early in life, and it carried through to serving as editor of his high school newspaper, writing the senior variety show, and becoming sports editor of the local village newspaper at fifteen, which led to a sports reporter position at Newsday at sixteen. Since then, he majored in journalism and political science in college, became an attorney, worked on several other newspapers, and taught in colleges, universities, and law schools as well as for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy. As a weekly columnist for a Long Island, New York, newspaper, he won a first-place designation from the New York Press Association, as well as a best column in Bowling magazine, wrote for the late Joe Franklin's magazine, and began appearing on television on Franklin's nationally televised program as a guest. For the last quarter century, he has been the host-producer of an award-winning local access TV program, "Access to Democracy," now networked in thirty-five Minnesota cities and recently created a new local access TV program in Minnesota entitled Writers Corner. He resides in Minnesota with his wife Sharon, and a springer spaniel rescue named Katie.
