Produktbeschreibung
A Christian Science Monitor Best Book of the Year Winner of the Philadelphia Athenaeum Literary Award In the Shadow of the Law is the story of Morgan Siler, a powerful Washington, D.C., law firm that has transformed itself from a traditional practice serving those most in need into a shrewd giant serving the interests of the wealthy. Through the intertwined stories of a pro bono murder case and a class action lawsuit brought against a large chemical company, we meet the fascinating, engaging, and conflicted characters that make up this world: Mark Clayton, the rookie; Walker Eliot, the prodigy; Katja Phillips, the idealist; and Harold Fineman, the brilliant and burned-out partner, leader of the chemical company's defense team. With a thorny and breathtakingly paced narrative, In the Shadow of the Law marks the arrival of a writer who "stakes a firm claim to the literary territory of Scott Turow" (The Times-Picayune, New Orleans).

Autorenporträt
American explorer, soldier, and novelist Kermit Roosevelt (1889-1943). He was President Theodore Roosevelt and Edith Roosevelt's second child. Roosevelt served in both World War I and World War II. He fought in the Middle East as a captain in the British Army during World War I. Later, he authored a book titled Battle in the Garden of Eden in which he discussed his experiences. Roosevelt started out as an adventurer and spent a lot of time in South America and Africa after the war. The Happy Hunting Grounds, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, and Following the Big Panda are just a few of the novels he authored on his travels. Roosevelt participated in a number of clandestine activities while employed with the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War Two. He was a crucial part in the 1943 invasion of Sicily's preparation. Tragically, Roosevelt's suicide in 1943 resulted in the premature end of his life. In the American Cemetery in Tunisia, he was laid to rest with all due military respects. Roosevelt is recognized for his sense of adventure, his dedication to his nation, and his contributions to literature and explorers.
