Shadow of Power – by Steve Martini

There isn’t much to the storyline. An author has stirred up racial violence in the US with his first book that insinuates that the language of slavery was never struck out of the US constitution. He leaves burning cities in his wake as he goes about promoting his book – before he is brutally murdered in his hotel room. A hotel employee is arrested and promptly charged on account of highly incriminating evidence. And somewhere in the background is a letter by one of America’s founding fathers that could potentially cause the whole country to go up in flames!

What is more interesting is a glimpse into the American Judicial system and the cat-and-mouse game that the prosecuting and defending sides play with each other.

Honestly, I didn’t know it’s so hard to serve a subpoena on someone :-)
