Light of Day

Jack Patterson is summoned to New Orleans to meet with the heads of the Louisiana crime syndicate. For years, the syndicate has been protecting Jack's daughter, and now the syndicate expects a favor in return.

The favor involves representing the head of the syndicate's grandson--a computer geek who has designed a unique software program that threatens national security and the way most technology companies do business. The young man is being held without bond in DC's jail, and a conglomerate of major corporations have sued him in Federal Court.

Jack breathes a sigh of relief. He believes the grandson's case will be complex but not dangerous. He quickly learns differently. Before Jack even meets the new client, he is kidnapped and left to die in the swamps of southern Louisiana.

An environmental scientist, Judy "Cat" Clawson, rescues Jack and helps him escape the swamps and his pursuers. He returns to DC to battle the Justice Department and a team of corporate litigators who want the software destroyed and Jack's client to spend his life in prison. To make matters worse, there is a traitor in the crime syndicate who has plans for the invention and will do anything to gain its possession.

In this next novel in the award-winning suspense/thriller series, Jack reaches deep in his legal bag of tricks to save his client and to overcome those who will go to any length to prevent the software from seeing the "Light of Day."
