Sinopse
Características

A brutal Mexican drug cartel buys its murderous way onto the streets of Chicago. Young Native American law student, Iroquois Hart, is thrust by chance into this deadly mix of power, money and unbridled violence. How this descendant of a long line of Mohawk braves meets the challenges of the law when pitted against those for whom there is no law is treated here in taut, spare prose, writing that echoes the authors highly praised first novel, Calvin. The Law of Iroquois Hart is a compelling mix of combative courtroom drama, murder mystery and complicated love. The backbone of this novel are the courtroom scenes: Harts first ever trial, his last-ditch fight in Divorce Court to win a reconciliation with his estranged wife, Kate, and his own life and death struggle to defend himself when accused of murder. But its the vividly drawn characters and their complicated relationships, sometimes loving, often fraught and contradictory, that give this book its center: Hart on the rebound from his wife Kates suit for divorce, his affair with an unforgettable temptress who becomes his alleged murder victim and the love of friends, one in particular, who come to his aid when all seems lost.
