Proposition - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

PROPOSITION KIRKUS REVIEW: An exciting thriller…colored by blood and fueled by money. O’Rourke’s book, at nearly six hundred pages, is fast-paced without losing sight of the details or nuance featured in the courtroom drama. Despite some gruesome moments, fans of thrillers won’t be too shocked; they’ll read on, ready for more twists. THE STORY: America’s most famous environmentalist, Chester Dotson, is on a mission to clean up California, and his voter initiative, Proposition Nine, is on the November ballot. Dotson has a plan to make his altruistic dream come true, but the people he recruits to bring in the vote have their own plan. A billion dollar windfall is hidden in the Proposition Nine language, and they’ll kill to get it. Attorney Riley Scofield has kept her distance from the family’s seventh generation Napa Valley tannery, ever since her fiancé was killed there in a freak accident. When Scofield Tannery is hit with the first Proposition Nine lawsuit, Riley is in the middle of another case, but she fights through her personal demons and rises to their defense. She’s losing the case, unaware of the deadly conspirators at work behind the scenes. Riley’s also unaware of something else: losing will keep her alive. Riley Scofield doesn’t like to lose, and suddenly, it’s kill or be killed—in ways you’d never imagine—unless you know about tanneries. O’Rourke’s debut novel seamlessly weaves ambition, greed, romance, murder-for-hire, family values and redemption into a must-read story of good intentions—with deadly consequences. BONUS MATERIAL: Chapter one of the author’s second novel THE PHILISTINE GAMBLE is included, available in 2014— based on the author’s award winning short story, The Philistine Celibacy.
