Lee Jackson
is a near future thriller. The US frightened enough by terrorism has cut back nearly all civil liberties. The story opens with Ben Trinity, a former college professor arrested for funding a terrorist group, hitchhiking to the west coast. Storm-stayed in a small Montana town, Redemption. Word about his past soon is common knowledge. Locals fear Trinity, speak out against his living there and even threatening his life. But there is always this undercurrent knowing of innocence.
The political ending swirls in far too fast. But it is still a good read and an author to keep an eye open for.
