Produktbeschreibung
Dive into a world of justice, love, and Cold War shadows with Gus Karos, where crime, passion, and history converge. In the world of criminal defense, one name stands out: Gus Karos. A dedicated attorney with an unyielding sense of justice, he's taken on a case that would daunt even the most seasoned of lawyers-a murder trial with the death penalty hanging ominously over his client's head. But the scales of justice are off-balance. An unscrupulous prosecutor and a morally compromised judge don't play by the rules, and the stakes have never been higher. Yet, Polished Moon offers readers more than just the courtroom's tension and drama. It provides a portal back in time to the perilous days of the Cold War. Karos doesn't just share a gripping legal thriller; he delves into his own deeply personal history. He reveals a tale of international espionage and profound loss-the tragedy of his father's fatal mission over the contested Turkey-Armenia border. This intimate revelation forms the backbone of Karos's fierce dedication to the U.S. Constitution and the principles it upholds. But every story has its lighter moments, and in Karos's life, these come in the form of the intriguing Zaz twins-strippers with a hidden depth and unexpected ties to the heart of the case-and a loyal Shih Tzu named Wilkie, offering comedic relief and steadfast companionship in equal measure. Elliott H. Costas masterfully interweaves elements of historical intrigue, romance, and legal drama to craft a story that is both thrilling and enlightening. Polished Moon isn't merely a book-it's an experience. An invitation to traverse the boundaries of love and duty, history and the present, and, most importantly, justice and injustice. Dive in and uncover the layers of truth hidden within.
