Rush to Judgment

Beschreibung

Violent Crimes detectives Charlie Dent and Reese Barrett arrive at a murder scene only to find a guy in a suit, bled out and dead on the floor of a shop. Imagine their surprise when they turn the body over and recognize Richard Carver, a burglary detective working out of the East Dallas station. It's not long before the entire police force is on the hunt for a cop killer. Nothing about the crime is clear. The shop owner is little help, since all he remembers is that the shooter was black. There was a mistake with 911 that possibly cost Carver his life, and now, Carver's former partner is out for blood. As police hysteria rises, a black man named Kindred James becomes the prime suspect but ends up shot by the authorities chasing him. James survives the firefight, and cops all over Texas seem convinced of his guilt. Charlie and Reese aren't sure James is their killer, though. "Black Lives Matter" enters the forefront as the investigators are attacked from all sides. In order to prove the innocence of the young black man, they must sift through red herrings and misdirection from friends, authorities, and even the media before James ends up dead.

After high school I worked on crews that travelled the U.S. doing field work for topographic maps. At age 21 I decided to be a painter and went to the Art Students League in New York, an atelier school in which students choose artist/instructors and work in studios free of academic requirements. I soon learned I would be a landscape painter (my preference for the outdoors asserting itself). During my second year at the League I was drafted into the Army for 2 years- in Korea for one of those years. Upon discharge I went to Italy, worked at landscape painting and discovered my passion for poetry, learning what I could by reading the great poetry of the past. In Florence I married an Englishwoman and had one daughter. Eventually we decided to separate. I returned to the U.S. after 7 years, realizing that in Italy I would forever be a visitor, and to develop in art I had to live within my native culture and landscape. I have lived in New York, Maine and now Massachusetts, making a living as a housepainter and carpenter, all the while continuing to write and paint, showing in New York and Boston galleries and beginning to publish poems, eventually in the Goose River annual Anthologies, leading up to this, my first published collection. I am married to Patricia Cobb, a visual artist, and we have two grown daughters.
