International lawyer John Cann could never defend a war criminal. But when a trusted friend and colleague needs his help, Cann must make an impossible choice. As he forges ahead, never far from Cann’s mind is Janie Reston, a young girl beaten and left for dead all because of her connection to him. But Janie is in grave danger. Will an unscrupulous psychiatrist succeed in exploiting her to further misguided theories of repressed memory? In the dark places where past, present and future collide, memory can transform – or destroy.
"Deeply textured and extraordinarily intense, A Grave Breach brims with raw emotion. Grisham and Turow move over; there's a new legal thriller writer on the scene. James Macomber's A Grave Breach has the right mix of America's legal system against the backdrop of an international incident that threatens to spin out of control. First rate!" -- David Hagberg (Sean Flannery), Bestselling author of Allah’s Scorpion, Assassin, White House, Joshua’s Hammer and many more
"I was privileged to read--and, eventually, to know--the late, great Ross Thomas, the novelist who rightly enjoyed the nickname 'master of crime in the suites.' A Grave Breach wonderfully returns us to Thomas territory. The 'lawyers' at Loring, Matsen & Gould are technically attorneys but more accurately secret agents, and their story is spun beautifully from James Macomber's literary loom. A hard-boiled thriller that becomes more credible--and inevitable--with the turning of every page." -- Jeremiah Healy, author of Turnabout and Invasion of Privacy
An attorney who worked in a private general practice and concurrently engaged in a parallel career of contract investigator for a number of federal agencies, James Macomber is creator of the John Cann series of international legal thrillers.
