The Power Of A Pawn

The Power Of A Pawn is going to be a MUST-HAVE for any aficionado of mystery/suspense/legal thriller genres! Author Paul Spite has been developing quite an avid fan base as we eagerly awaited the first book in his The Game Of Life series. The wait is over....and it was worth every moment!!

Synopsis: Amanda has been accused of a heinous crime. Her only defense is that she simply doesn't remember committing the crime. Her attorney, Samuel, desperately tries to help her, but has few clues to unravel this mystery. As this case becomes national news, the media and the court of public opinion combine to use Amanda as simply a pawn for their own agenda.


This is one of my favorite types of fiction and I love to find a author who knows how to weave the elements into a believable and gripping tale. Paul is a master storyteller! Just when the pace has picked up to a breath-taking moment, Paul would reveal yet another layer or element to the tale. Also, there are a variety of viewpoints expressed by the groups vying for attention during Amanda's trial and subsequent imprisonment. Suspenseful, provocative, intelligent, timely, entertaining...these are just a few adjectives to describe this contemporary novel that I will give a 5 out of 5 stars!

Others in the series that I hope will some day be available:
 

2. Knight Maneuvers

The patient was obviously in danger of losing his life. No one suspected it would happen at the hand of a total stranger, entering his room to unplug the life support machinery. Equally incomprehensible were the multiple people lining up to claim responsibility for the deed. Especially since none of them actually killed the patient.

3. A Queen Imperious

In the cold and lonely world of self, the lives and loves of others are without value. Some are even expendable for profit and power. When Liza’s unborn child dies in an alcohol induced crash, she is determined someone will pay. One man stands between her and her spiteful revenge. One man, inspired by the love of one mother, will ultimately reveal how little significance such love can hold for another.

4. Attack of the Bishop

In a world of double standards, Pastor Peter is like an unmoving rock. There is no question where he stands when two of his parishioners are arrested for first seeking prayer for their baby, rather than a physician. They are not even permitted to attend the funeral of their deceased child. Their pastor’s defense is simple and direct. He simply wants justice. In his world, the rulers of men should answer for their actions according to the same measure by which they measure others. All he must do is find an inexpensive but competent lawyer willing to wage a solitary battle against an entire state.

5. Fall of the King

In the words of an old song, “someone’s gonna get hurt before we’re through.” It is difficult to try the federal government for its actions against its own citizens. This becomes impossible when the case is tried in a courtroom owned by the plaintiff, staffed by employees of the plaintiff, and decided upon by citizen components of the plaintiff. But the trial is a necessary formality before justice can be sought at the highest level. That will not be the Supreme Court.

6. The Missing Piece

God breathed into man and man became a living soul. In our first mistake, we sought to be like God. Our last mistake will be our quest to replace Him. We have entered His domain and exercised the prerogative of God alone. But as any good machinist could have told us, with any complex creation, it is the missing piece that can destroy you.
