Of THE LAW
Susan Wingate's debut novel (Sixteen Cat Tails Publishing)
available May 2007!
In the classic-style of an Erle Stanley Gardner mystery, Of THE LAW, is the story about small town life on Dahl Island. Harvey Flemings is the Police Chief of the town there. He becomes embroiled in a maze of deceit, adulterous encounters, bribery and, murder – a couple of them. Failure to bring to justice the corrupt Leona Malouf (the wealthiest woman in the community) colors Harvey's every thought. Despite the impermeable legal fortress she has surrounding her, Harvey vows to end Leona's run of terror. Doing so, he enters into a world of sinister thought. The very element he's fought against his entire life grabs hold of his moral collar and will not let go. Will he win his fight against evil? Or, will he be destroyed? Of THE LAW looks at the darker side of humanity.
Susan writes novels, short stories, essays, poetry, and plays. She lives in Washington State with her husband and a houseful of pets. In 1997, she moved from Phoenix, Arizona where she was born and raised and where her sister and many of her aunts, uncles, and cousins still reside. Much of Susan's writing is set in the southwest U.S.
