Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This novel, the fourth of the author's Ted Born Classic Courtroom Trialsassociate reveals she has seen a dark, mysterious dream vision about Constance that foretells her tragic demise. Constance hires Ted Born to help her get compensated for the loss, and Ted successfully represents her, though he and Constance both know the former associate has limited ability to pay the true damages she has caused. Thus, crippled financially at the beginning and lacking the personal participation of her former key associate, Constance's enterprise fails to achieve its goals, and the financial situation gets progressively worse. Constance's husband is not supportive of Constance during her difficult times, going from indifference to criticism to hostility and infidelity. Constance continues throughout the story to seek Born's advice series, follows talented Constance Stanfield, young mother of two beautiful children, in her effort to expand the appreciation of beautiful lace, and delicate hand sewing and embroidery within her community and beyond. Steeped in her love of ancient Greek culture, Constance lives in a Greek Revival columned home at what she calls Helicon Heights, commemorating Mt. Helicon in Greece where the winged horse Pegasus touched down and caused springs of water to gush up, which the Muses regarded as sacred - Muses who shared their love of beauty with humanity. Pegasus tried to fly up to Mt. Olympus but never made it and later became the custodian of Zeus' lightning bolts and eventually a constellation.Constance had a crucially important associate in her lace enterprise who abruptly abandons the deal after Constance has sunk a lot of borrowed money in it. After much resistance to explaining why she abandoned Constance, the about problems she faces, both corporate and personal, and their communications provide critical parts of the plot. At one point, Constance tries to salvage her business through an arrangement with a startup venture featuring synthetic or simulated lace, but that initiative proves to be of limited help in the long run.The author lays bare the innermost feelings and thoughts of Constance and the other characters via you-are-there insights provided by dialogue and by their verbatim mental reflections. Mostly, there is sympathy for and empathy with Constance, but the legitimate concerns of her husband and others in the narrative are also treated objectively, and their characters become understandable and relatable.As Constance's circumstances get more desperate, she resorts to a mix of alcohol and pain pills, and finally to unbelievable other measures to deal with her depression, which at times will evoke horror and a variety of emotions.There are ambiguities surrounding the death of Constance, whether it was murder or suicide. It will be up to the reader to resolve this ambiguity based on all the events and clues leading up to the demise of Constance. This novel is somewhat different from the author's previous novels, in that the most suspenseful moments occur after the end of the lone trial in the story, but no trial could be more gripping and horrifying than the events toward the end.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Jury Has a Verdict! is the third of a trilogy of legal Courtroom dramas/thrillers featuring fictitious attorney Ted Born, and it is a prequel to the first two: The Impossible Mock Orange Trial and The Vow: Ted Born's Last Trial. While denominated as Courtroom dramas/thrillers, all three of the books narrate the struggles of an ethical lawyer trying to achieve his conception of justice for his clients, often in the face of heavy odds against him. In his efforts he of course must deal with opposing counsel and opposing parties, juries, and Judges. The present work focuses on Ted Born's interactions with Judges and juries, exploring several different experiences as he strives to achieve justice for his clients. As hard as he tries to avoid it, Ted Born finds himself on the wrong side of a powerful Federal Judge, and he has to try to reconcile his respect for the law and the Judge with his responsibility to secure justice for his client. The book puts the readers squarely in the midst of all the triumphs and traumas of Ted Born through the use of 'you-are-there type dialogues. The title comes from the moment when lawyers and their clients are anxiously waiting for their jury to conclude deliberations, and the Court bailiff finally comes to them and says, 'The jury has a verdict. Please return to the courtroom.' Ultimately, the reader must ponder the question, What is justice , as the narratives lay out the competing ways of viewing the facts of each case. The book is intended both to entertain and grippingly engage readers while leaving them to reflect on the great issues of our justice system, usually very good, but also fragile.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is the second of a series of 'Ted Born' novels involving a fictitious lawyer who happens to attract very challenging lawsuits, a sequel to the other recently released Ted Born novel, 'The Impossible Mock Orange Trial,' this time set some fifteen years later than the events of that first release. Ted finds himself a defendant against claims that could ruin him financially and destroy his personal and professional reputation, involving his succeeding the deceased brother of his impaired but wealthy philanthropist client, Alexander Carr, as manager of the client's affairs. A judge who seems likely to preside over the upcoming trial seems skeptical of Born's position, and possibly hostile. To complicate matters further, Born's own law firm, and his Firm's malpractice insurance carrier, are unhappy with this messy situation and want Born to get out of the case. With the client's family seemingly united against Born, his own law firm pressuring him to get out of the case, and facing a trial before an unfavorable judge, Born has to decide what course to take in accordance with his own values and ethics. This case raises questions about professional responsibility and basic right and wrong in the context of the vulnerable population of older persons whose longstanding estate planning efforts are in jeopardy due to members of their own families who are intent on scuttling the wishes and plans of the testator and substituting their own ideas. Ted Born wins against all odds and the client's intentions respecting the disposition of his assets are honored. The book takes the reader through contentious trial preparations and the trial itself, with the aftermath effect on Born and on the members of the Carr family, attorneys and others involved in the case. The novel deals with an increasingly recurring issue of family members who attempt to take advantage of vulnerable older persons and undo their true desires and intentions.…
