In an advance review, Fresh Fiction praises Macomber’s “beautiful writing” and adds, “a skillful interweaving of past and present makes A Grave Breach an intriguing, must-read.”
The third novel in Macomber’s series of international legal thrillers, which have been praised for their complexity, remarkable intensity, brilliant plotting and compelling characters brought to life in real time, real world, real life situations, A Grave Breach (ISBN-10 1-933515-07-4, ISBN-13: 978-1-933515-07-6, $24.95) features the return of international lawyer John Cann.

With an extraordinarily compelling cast of characters destined to stay with readers long after the final page is turned, A Grave Breach is resplendent with rich historical detail and a plot that moves deftly through time and place.
