“Rip-roaring legal thriller...Twisty, bloody, and convincing.” —Ian Rankin An innocent client. A wife in jeopardy. Who will take The Plea? When billionaire David Child is arrested for the murder of his girlfriend, Clara, the FBI believes they can get him to testify and take down a huge money laundering scheme. Con-artist-turned-lawyer Eddie Flynn is given the job: persuade David to plead guilty and give the agents the evidence they need. If Eddie can’t get David to take a plea bargain, the FBI has incriminating files on Eddie’s wife – and will send her to jail. But David swears he didn’t murder anyone. The evidence overwhelmingly shows that David killed Clara: the security video showed no one else entering their apartment, the murder weapon was in his car, and he was covered in gunshot residue he can’t explain. Yet as the FBI pressures Eddie to secure the guilty plea, Eddie becomes increasingly convinced that David is telling the truth. With adversaries threatening, Eddie has to find a way to prove David’s innocence and find out if there’s any way he might have been framed. But the stakes are high: Eddie’s wife is in danger. And not just from the FBI... The Plea is a locked room mystery from Steve Cavanagh, the author Nelson DeMille compares to John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Brad Meltzer. “The Plea is one of the most purely entertaining books you'll read this year. It's a blast.” —John Connolly, bestselling author of the Charlie Parker novels

All of my poems are inspired or are reflective of people and events that have had a deep emotional effect on my life in my latter years, in which I have been compelled to write about them. Each and every poem tells its own story in time and placefrom my life poems that are an image of what is really happening in the world today with peoples attitudes and structured society and feelings for others, to my love poems that reach into the very depths of my emotions and portray how various women have affected my life emotionally. And it almost certainly reflects the effects of being adopted and never knowing a mothers true lovein which most talk of love far away, a need of wanting, a need of being, and being so near yet so farwhich is the story of my life. The final two sections are probably self-explanatory. They, again, are drawn from events that have affected my life and the lives of others from poems of grief that reflect a sense of there but not gone as all life is eternal to my final poems about Tibet, which came from a deep feeling and empathy for Tibet and its people.
