The Heyward Shepherd Conspiracy, by Map V. Ryan

Autor Map V. Ryan
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Amidst the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, the O.J. Simpson murder trial, and the Million Man March, a rookie DC lawyer is appointed to represent an indigent black man charged with breaking into a school. Liam McNaughton is the ultimate slacker lawyer - he dreams of quixotic Supreme Court challenges and CNN interviews, but he's never tried a case. His client's Unlawful Entry charge is only a misdemeanor, but the man has eight years of back-up time hanging over his head for the crime of feticide. And when the trial begins with the seating of an all-white jury, Liam finally realizes that he has become an unwitting cog in a conspiracy to trigger a bloody civil war. "The Heyward Shepherd Conspiracy, by Map V. Ryan" is told through various narratives, including letters, memoranda, court orders, police reports, and a transcript of a trial, allowing the book's ensemble of characters to explain in their own words their various roles in the diabolical plot: Annie Fairbrother, the veteran prosecutor whose high-risk pregnancy tests her resolve in sending a baby killer back to prison; De La Suggs, a diminutive hit-man afflicted by AIDS and a busy schedule; James McCoy, a closeted police officer who believes, somewhat messianically, that he has supernatural investigative powers; and the mysterious Captain - a pot-smoking, one-armed U.S. Marshal with a penchant for Civil War trivia. Taut to the last page, "The Heyward Shepherd Conspiracy" ends as it begins - with a volcanic explosion of ladybugs, the shimmering Curtain of Life - a visual testament to the frightening ardor of real life anti-abortion terrorists like Paul Hill and Eric Rudolph who picture themselves as modern day John Browns.
