PROOF OF PASSION
TO BECOME HIS OWN MAN and WIN the WOMAN HE LOVES, A LAW STUDENT TAKES ON the GREATEST CONTROVERSY of the LAST 2,000 YEARS
Eric Stafford is the son of the most powerful attorney in Massachusetts. With good looks, intelligence, wealth and charm, he’s poised to sail through his final year of law school and take the world by storm. All he needs to do is play his role.
​
But he can’t.
​
For every night he leads the playboy life of top shelf Scotch and beautiful women, he wakes with a longing for something real. His gut aches with a passion for the truth, and he can’t resist the desire to lash out against his corrupt father, Alten Stafford.
​
When he meets Kathy Stevens, he finds a witty and gorgeous woman who is his intellectual equal. She challenges him to do something unexpected with his final school project – to defend the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in mock court.
Eric leaps at the challenge, seeing it as an opportunity to romance Kathy while getting out from under his father’s thumb. But Kathy has her own ideas about romance and they don’t include playboys, while Alten is determined to teach his insubordinate son a lesson in a very public way.
Solving mankind’s greatest mystery becomes only part of Eric’s challenge. If he wants to be Kathy’s man, he’ll have to make radical changes in his life. He’ll have to put his own future on the line to protect hers. And, in a shocking twist, he’ll have to argue against her in court – defending her beliefs while she prosecutes them.
The Girl in the Polka-Dot Dress
In the early morning hours of June 5, 1968, The Girl in the Polka-Dot Dress ran down a fire escape, exclaiming, “We shot him! We shot him!”
“Who?” asked a witness.
“We’ve shot Senator Kennedy.”
2018 – Fifty Years Later. Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Frank Caron is enjoying a highpoint in his career and the excitement of his new relationship with Sasha Frye. An amateur hypnotist, Sasha convinces him to let her treat his mother’s dementia with hypnotherapy. It’s supposed to do wonders for dementia-sufferers, but it backfires. Horribly.
Under hypnosis, his mother makes a most unusual comment. “I don’t like this dress,” she says. “But I have to wear it for him to die. And Robert Kennedy must die.”
Frank is stunned. So is Sasha. What are they supposed to make of a comment like that? Can their new relationship handle the burden of learning such a shocking revelation?
One thing is for certain: neither can ignore it. What they do separately ignites the fire of ambition in Frank’s over-zealous boss, the District Attorney. It upends the California legal system. And it reawakens an evil that didn’t stop then – and won’t stop now – to keep its secrets hidden.
Through it all, there’s one burning question Frank must have answered: was his mother a conspirator in the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy?
What he learns is far more than a simple yes or no.
