Produktbeschreibung

Death, law and in that order at Guantanamo Bay.

The 2015 RONE Award nominated for best legal thriller novel, fast-paced, action packed #1 bestseller legal and political thriller from the bestselling author critics call 'one of the strongest thriller writers on the scene.' This mystery novel challenges everything you believe about justice and freedom.

When a naturalized American citizen turns up missing in Iraq, Attorney Brent Marks fights the Goliath U.S. Government's Patriot Act. Santa Barbara accountant Ahmed Khury responds to the plea of his brother, a suspected money launderer in Iraq. Before Ahmed realizes what has happened to him, he is sent to Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp as a suspected terrorist, and is subjected to torture to extract information that he doesn't have. The courtroom drama mounts as the drama outside the courtroom explodes, and when murder, corruption and cover-up enters the picture, nobody, including Brent, is safe.

"A Patriot's Act" rocketed to the top of four paid bestseller charts:

• #1 Best selling pulp thriller
• # 1 Best selling legal thriller
• # 1 Best selling political thriller
• # 1 Best selling Mystery Collections & AnthologyHigh marks from critics for Lawyer Brent Marks:

"Eade, a lawyer by profession, weaves legal dialogue, corruption and international action to create a pacey read with echoes of Grisham, Baldacci and Clancy nipping at his writing heels. Law issues as well as forensics and police procedures are clearly explained with such authority as to add gritty realism in and out of the courthouse, but it's within the court drama that Eade really packs some punch. With some success with the first book of the series, Predatory Kill, this second saga looks sure to satisfy his growing base of readers." - SPR Review
