Produktbeschreibung
Join Ronan O'Neill, a Coast Guard Viet Nam War hero and now a civil litigator, and the people around him who form the nucleus of his life, as he tells from his perspective about several of his paramount relationship changes and how his life course begins to shift in his middle years, including unexpected forays into the world of high fashion. Ronan's career in the Coast Guard Reserve nears its end. Yet, his legal work, anchored in California while spanning many U.S. jurisdictions, becomes more dramatic and complex in its scope and increasingly entangled with an intertwining of interests in some European Union financial markets and with world-renowned scientists in the United Kingdom and France. While deeply enmeshed in his primary workload, an old client from Upstate New York calls on Ronan to assist with a dreadful accident involving its signature product line in a small, difficult to access county in the California hills where much of the Gold Rush played out almost 150 years before. Ever loyal to this past client and despite his overwhelming workload and his evolving personal relationships, Ronan undertakes his old friend's request for his defense efforts in this area known as The Gold Country. This third novel provides Ronan's autobiographical view of what, on the reflection of his later years, may be part of the highest plateau of his career in law while he is undergoing massive personal changes that will reshape how he will face much of the remainder of his life.
