Sarasota Resident, Acclaimed Novelist James Macomber to Celebrate Launch of A Grave Breach at Circle Books

Acclaimed novelist and Sarasota resident James Macomber will appear at Circle Books (478 John Ringling Boulevard/Sarasota) on November 24 at 1:00 PM.  Macomber will autograph and discuss his latest thriller, A Grave Breach.

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 (Oceanview Publishing, ISBN-10 1-933515-07-4, ISBN-13: 978-1-933515-07-6, $24.95) features the return of  international lawyer John Cann.

John Cann could never defend a war criminal – particularly not one he has seen engaged in horrific acts of violence and other atrocities.  But when Arthur Matsen, a trusted friend, mentor and colleague needs his help, Cann will be forced to choose between honor and loyalty.

But why would Matsen, someone Cann trusts and respects, put him in this impossible position?  The answer lies deep in Matsen’s WWII past. As he forges ahead, Cann’s own past is close behind.  Never far from his mind is Janie Reston, a young American college girl savagely brutalized and left for dead – all because of her connection to him.

Mired with complex legal, moral and ethical dilemmas in Europe, Cann doesn’t realize that back in the US, Janie is in grave danger. Who can save Janie from Dr. Nathan Fredrich, an unscrupulous psychiatrist intent on exploiting her horrendous ordeal to further his own misguided theories of repressed memory?

John Cann will be forced to wage an epic battle that spans time, era, and place. And in that dark and dangerous intersection where past, present and future threaten to collide, Cann will find that memory has both the power to transform – and the power to destroy.

Deeply textured, immensely real and intensely powerful, A Grave Breach brims with raw emotion. 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.
