About the Book
This is the second of a series of “Ted Born” novels involving a fictitious lawyer who happens to attract very challenging lawsuits, a sequel to the other recently released Ted Born novel, “The Impossible Mock Orange Trial,” this time set some fifteen years later than the events of that first release. Ted finds himself a defendant against claims that could ruin him financially and destroy his personal and professional reputation, involving his succeeding the deceased brother of his impaired but wealthy philanthropist client, Alexander Carr, as manager of the client’s affairs. A judge who seems likely to preside over the upcoming trial seems skeptical of Born’s position, and possibly hostile. To complicate matters further, Born’s own law firm, and his Firm’s malpractice insurance carrier, are unhappy with this messy situation and want Born to get out of the case.
