English | N/A Pages
Title: Political Justice
Author: Dennis Carstens
Year: N/A
Description:
THE MACBETHS TAKE WASHINGTON —and leave a pile of bodies in their wake.
In searing political commentary laced with a gripping murder mystery that hits disturbingly close to home, Dennis Carstens tackles financial misconduct, scandalous cover-up, treason, and murder in the 7 th installment of the Marc Kadella legal thriller series— a scathing imagining of an American White House nobody's ever seen before, and yet one that is all too familiar.
" A shot in the dark, right in the gut , that's what Carstens is good at . Carstens aims to be realistic about the law and its enforcers, and he hits it right... The plot is as full of surprises as a Minneapolis Jucy Lucy and ultimately just as satisfying." -Tony Dunbar, Anthony- and Edgar-nominated author of the Tubby Dubonnet legal thriller series.
It's four days after the latest presidential election, and Marc Kadella has the post-election blues. Sure, his guy didn't win, but there's more to it than that: the defeated incumbent was a decent man. Too bad you can't say the same for his Machiavellian opponent—or his photogenic partner-in-crime.
Thomas Jefferson Carver is charming and energetic, with a former beauty queen for a wife—and a name for the job to boot. Together they're the package deal: young, modern, forward-thinking, and successful. That Mr. Carver was often accused of womanizing and that the couple used political clout to line their own pockets didn't seem to matter to the American electorate.
But Marc Kadella's got a more specific axe to grind. Back when Carver was governor, a fundraising stop in Minneapolis resulted in the accidental overdose—and death—of a 19-year-old girl. A Carver campaign aide's in prison on a plea deal for manslaughter—against his lawyer Marc Kadella's express recommendation. But when the campaign worker turns up hanged in his Colorado cell just days after the election, Kadella senses his mistrust of the Carvers is just the tip of the iceberg.
Tyranny, cover-up, and all-out Shakespearian bloodbath haunt these pages, making House of Cards look like a Barbara Walters special. Author Dennis Carstens hits political corruption and smarmy-politician caricature right on the head , in a compelling sociological hypothetical melded with a captivating murder mystery that explores just how far American politicians will go for money—and power.
" House of Cards meets the Land of Trump " –Amazon 5-star reviewer
Fans of Nelson Demille, John Grisham, Richard North Patterson , and of course the most beloved lawyer sleuth of all time, Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason, will gobble up this one up. As will devotees of political thrillers like novels by Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, David Baldacci —and HOUSE OF CARDS fans in particular.

Review
Political Justice by Dennis L. Carsten is undoubtedly the bestLegal/Political/Crime drama novel to be written in recent years. Unansweredquestions and mysterious deaths going back twenty-something years; and repeatedjust prior to the 2016 political campaign; the narcissistic personality of thecandidate and the candidate's self-serving staff and spouse made this novel soreal that the author needs a disclaimer to the effect that any resemblance toreal persons yada, yada, yada!
*This is the fastest, most intense thirteen-year journey in my lifetime. How Mr.Carstens weaves the mystery, the characters (The hero's; the villains, and thevictims); and the outcome together is mesmerizing. And yet, when "PoliticalJustice" inevitably wins out you just want to cheer and shout" IF ONLY!!!!"
I give this author an unqualified * (Five Stars) for Political Justice andmove him onto my list of favorite authors. I will be reading his other worksvery soon. Kudos Dennis!Phil Calkins Net Gallery Rating: 5 out of 5 stars*

Brilliant book -- best read I've had for a long time. The story line although complex the writer made it easy to follow the plot. The link between the lawyer Marc and the Carvers (president and his wife) was thought provoking and encouraged reading to find out how the story line fits together. Although the story is over a number of years I felt it was laid out well. Very up to date and thought provoking about money, the rich and political intrigue, including dishonesty and murder. I would highly recommend this book.

About the Author
Dennis Carstens was born Worthington, MN a small town in the Southwestern corner of the state near South Dakota. He has lived most of his life in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. As such he is a member of the long-suffering fraternity of Vikings, Twins, Wild and Timberwolf fans. He received a BA from the University of Minnesota and his J.D. from a highly respected private law school, William Mitchell, in St. Paul. He is also a veteran of the USAF having served during the Vietnam war but was among those fortunate not to have been sent to Vietnam itself. I try to create a story that is entertaining, interesting and most importantly, thought provoking. I want to create something that gives the reader a legal, moral or ethical dilemma to think about. In doing so, as in real life, I may not have every little detail wrapped in a nice, neat bow at the end. However, I do believe the reading experience is well worth the ride. I, myself, am a big fan of the mystery/legal courtroom drama genre. I have read almost all of the "big name" authors and most of them, not all, leave me wondering if they have ever been in a courtroom. Ever actually represented a live human client and most importantly, ever tried to make a living as a lawyer. I was a practicing defense lawyer for almost twenty years and as such, I have a lot of experience to share in my books. The main stories are fictional but a lot of the anecdotal cases Marc Kadella handles are real life cases and added for comic relief. I have received numerous reviews in which the reviewer praises my work for educating them on the reality of trials and what goes on in and behind the scenes of trial work. The reviews for my books score in the very good to excellent range. If you like the genre you should like mine and the more realistic approach I bring to my stories.
