Deadly Intrigue Surrounds a Rural Lawyer in Suspense-Filled New
Novel
A young lawyer and scuba diver
finds himself caught up in a dangerous plot in Jack Dalton’s
A Country Lawyer.
Words
of praise from Ray Call, retired executive editor, The Emporia
(KS) Gazette: “This first novel lures readers with an
affectionate look at the author’s beloved western Kansas and the
hard-working, honest folk who live there. Well, mostly honest.
As a
young lawyer he is also introduced to the more lurid underside
of his community: a shady land deal; a dentist who molests young
women; a divorcee who wants to meet him in his office after
hours…
His hobby is scuba diving, which takes him to exotic places a
few weeks each year. One of these dives leads to a
life-threatening adventure that eventually involves
drug-runners, a gun battle, and the CIA.
All of this
is told in the words of a real Dodge City trial lawyer with a
loving wife and a family of three children. The novel has all
the ingredients that make a compelling story, well told.”
