Blindside by Jim R Lane
Navy intelligence officer Neal Olen finds himself a pawn of both the author, a woman with whom he had an affair and who hopes to promote her book and the Navy eager to demonstrate zero tolerance of sex scandals.
Lane's characters are well drawn in a taut courtroom thriller reminiscent of Joseph Finder's terrific "High Crimes" -- Lev Raphael * Knight Ridder Newspapers *
A pleasing combination of Wouk, Grisham, and Clancy, a military courtroom drama with attention to detail, crafted by one who knows....The plot works with just enough sex, violence, and surprising turns, the characters are real enough, and the prose is nicely crafted. And weighing in at less than a pound, it is a good choice for a long airplane flight. -- John Lehman, author of On the Seas of Glory * The Philadelphia Inquirer *
Using his background as a 20-year Navy legal-eagle, Lane adds prefectly credible soul-searching to creat an honest and heartfelt courtroom drama of agenda-driven military intransigence at odds with personal integrity. * Kirkus *
The subject matter is tantalizing and Lane keeps the story moving at a steady pace * Publishers Weekly *
An exciting courtroom suspense story, solidly grounded in the author's knowledge of military trial procedure....The swift pace and appealing characters draw readers into the little-known world of military justice -- Judith Wynn * Boston Herald *
A sold...achievement that verifies that Lane has a real gift for depicting the U.S. Navy's legal system at its best and worst. -- Roland Green * Booklist, (American Library Association) *
This topical story...compels when it describes the court material. -- Robert Conroy * Library Journal *
A powerfully written and compelling tale. -- James A. Cox * Midwest Book Review *
