Cross Examination, the second in a series of Jamie Carson Legal Thrillers, confronts financial juggernauts when a biotech company's IPO and an FDA approval stand at the precipice. The New Tisbury Police arrested the accused, Herbie Jones, after they discovered the weapon in his car used in a Groton bar staying. Jones works for the same biotech company as the slain woman's boyfriend. Trial lawyer Jamie Carson faces overwhelming evidence when he agrees to defend Jones. Jamie Carson and his partner Stephanie Marx at the BigLaw firm of Ely, Snow & Carson cross the ocean to England and the tax haven Isle of Man searching for evidence that they hope may free their client in front of a Connecticut jury. Cross Examination gives the reader a front row seat to what first-rate lawyers must do to bring justice to a case where others would have failed. What Others Are Saying About The Jamie Carson Legal Thrillers "Mitch McDeere, Mickey Haller, Frank Galvin, Jake Brigance; all great characters in the legal thriller genre. Well, you can now add Jamie Carson to that lofty list. In his debut novel, Reasonably Foreseeable, attorney turned author James E. Carroll creates a complex story where the lead character must navigate a volatile legal landscape where the most vulnerable are often chewed up and spit out unless they have a champion willing to risk their career, and even their lives to achieve justice. James E. Carroll has written a taut, propulsive drama that will keep you guessing to the very last page." -Casey Sherman, N.Y. Times Bestselling Author of Helltown and A Murder in Hollywood "Connecticut is called 'the land of steady habits.' Not so in the Jamie Carson series. James E. Carroll is a master of narrative who allows the reader to slip into the mind of a brilliant trial lawyer. Like the great writers of legal fiction, Carroll has created a place and an intriguing character who I hope will treat us to courtroom drama in the years to come." -CT Attorney Steven G. Mednick "Cross-Examination, Attorney James E. Carroll's second in a series of Jamie Carson litigation thrillers kept my attention from beginning to end. Carroll's debut thriller, Reasonably Foreseeable, is just as engrossing. Great news. That there is in fact a second and that it is as good or better than the first is rarely the case in the publishing world. Each narrative is fleshed out in fascinating detail, from what the characters are wearing and eating, to the places they are frequenting, both here and abroad. The experienced trial lawyer, whether in the criminal or civil space, will find that Carson's multi-dimensional litigation strategies and tactics 'ring true.' The reader who has never set foot in a courtroom will come away not only with having binged on a good yarn, but also with some serious, albeit vicarious, real-world exposure to what goes on under the hood of litigation that is both multi-faceted and high-stakes." -Prof. Charles E. Rounds, Jr., Suffolk Law School
