Writing style is fun and interesting. This book was written 20 years ago so you have to allow for the massive change in technology and two decades of history; nevertheless, plausible in today's environment. Takes a shot a military justice. There were so many unexpected surprises, and the intensity was great! Claire Heller Chapman is a very successful attorney who teaches law. One day at the mall with her husband and daughter, police start chasing her husband and claim he is someone else who committed a terrible crime in another country, El Salvador. He was a member of a secret military group and 87 innocent villagers were murdered. She finds out he was accused and escaped, changed his face and name and they have been married for several years. He said that he doesn't know who killed the villagers as he was in a different part of the village when it happened. Claire joins a military attorney and a civilian attorney who is an expert on military justice. She finds enough evidence to clear her husband only to find he and another man from the group were guilty. Apparently there was a movie about this with Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd. I enjoyed the book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Meet Claire Heller Chapman. A criminal defense attorney who's made a name for herself by taking on--and winning--the toughest cases, Claire still manages to have a relatively calm life as a Harvard Law School professor, devoted wife, and proud mother to six-year-old Annie. Until one night, when the family is out having dinner, a team of government agents bursts onto the scene...heading straight for Claire's husband.Tom Chapman has been arrested for an atrocious crime he swears he did not commit. Claire is desperate to believe him--and prove his innocence--even when she learns that Tom once had a different name. "And" a different face. Now, in a top-secret court-martial conducted by the Pentagon, Claire will put everything on the line to defend the man she loves. But as the evidence keeps piling up, the less she knows who her husband really is...and the more he appears to be a cold-blooded murderer. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
