Attorney John Cann respects his mentor Arthur Matsen or he
would never have taken on the defense of war criminal
Dubran Mribic. Especially not after he saw evidence of the
man's horrific crimes on videotape.
But because Arthur wants to offer Mribic defense, Cann
travels to Germany. His mind is only half on the case,
though, because he's concerned about Janie Reston, a woman
who was horribly tortured because terrorists were trying to
get back at him. Janie's mind survived, but she lives in
constant pain and is in a facility where they're helping
her learn to speak again.
But when Cann visited Janie right before he left for
Germany, he was concerned at a new psychiatrist who wanted
to delve into the memories of Janie's torture. Because she
was drugged, she has few memories of it, but this doctor
swears those memories are buried somewhere in her. Cann,
who is co-guardian of Janie along with Arthur, refuses his
permission to do any "experimenting" on Janie.
A skillful interweaving of past and present makes A GRAVE
BREACH an intriguing, must-read. The atrocities committed
in this book, which delves into the Serbian conflict and
war crimes, both make you question who you would become
during wartime and make you grateful for the security and
safety of your life. Beautiful writing on disturbing
topics.
International lawyer John Cann would never defend a war
criminal - particularly the Serb accused of horrific acts
during the Bosnian War of the 1990s. But when his friend,
mentor and senior partner Arthur Matsen needs his help,
John has to make a tough decision.
Struggling with legal issues and ethical dilemmas in
Europe, John's past is close behind. Never far from his
mind is Janie Reston, the young college student viciously
abused and left for dead by terrorists in BARGAINED FOR
EXCHANGE.
As John uncovers what lies deep in Matsen's past, Janie is
in increasing peril. Will past, present and future
intersect or will time run out?
