Produktbeschreibung

VILLAIN OR VICTIM? Magnolia Kanaranzi, a woman with a mysterious past, has been elected to the U.S. Senate. Before she can take office, she is charged with conspiring to murder her own mother. Kanaranzi adamantly maintains her innocence, but the facts point to her guilt, and her attorney, nationally prominent criminal defense lawyer, Napoleon Taft, seeks to have her declared mentally incompetent to stand trial.

With the threat of the death penalty hanging over her head, Kanaranzi reluctantly agrees to be examined by forensic psychologist Bishop Pollock. Multiple psychoanalytic sessions result in the discovery that Kanaranzi has multiple personalities, at least one of which has violent tendencies. Fearing that she will end up in a mental institution for the rest of her life, she escapes from custody and goes into hiding.

Through it all, Kanaranzi's son, Hamilton Blethen, whom she abandoned when he was four years old, seeks to reconcile with his mother. Drawn into an FBI investigation of Kanaranzi's escape, Blethen becomes an unknowing target. Despite her mistrust of him, Kanaranzi struggles with an instinctual desire to see her son one last time before permanently fleeing the country. Her ultimate decision sets in motion events where perception and reality collide, and Kanaranzi discovers that, for her, there is only one path to redemption.

Autorenporträt

Born in the wine country of California; grew up in a beautiful Mississippi River town in Wisconsin; educated in the Minnesota State University system and Harvard Law School, Rob Jung now lives the writer's life in St. Paul, Minnesota. A life-long student of history, geography and religion, Jung has traveled in every continent except Antarctica, and his books often find their origin in historical events discovered in his travels. His most recent novel, Judgment Day, is the third and final novel of the Chimera Chronicles, a trilogy that started with The Reaper and the disappearance 75 years ago of a famous painting by Spanish artist, Joan Miro. The story continues in The Sower, psychological/political thriller featuring a struggling painter, his powerful, estranged mother, and a transgender private detective in a race to solve a cold case murder, all revolving around that still lost painting. The final installment, Judgment Day, brings the story to a cataclysmic conclusion as all that seems right is wrong, and the painting, the painter and the estranged mother, now an elected U.S. Senator, are brought to account. Jung is a member of The Loft Literary Society, Sisters in Crime and Mystery Writers of America, and is the founder and producer of Minnesota Mystery Night. In addition to writing, Jung is a gourmet chef, inventor, entrepreneur, story-teller, gardener, fisherman, baseball fan, lover of classic cars and manhattans.
