Deadly Duty
District Attorney Joshua Edward Travers is just settling into his new role as Solita County's top cop. Finally in charge, he unexpectedly finds himself on the horns of a dilemma, as he studies the strange missive from a woman named Dawn O'Mara. Mrs. O'Mara's late husband, Tommy Deen, was mortally wounded trying to repossess a debtor's pickup truck for the Houston used car lot that sold it to him, and she insists TD's killer beat the rap. It's not that Travers is unsympathetic to the widow's professed plight. But, he has no legal jurisdiction outside of Solita County, CA. The case is in Texas. He's not a civil lawyer. Ultimately, the crusty Marine reservist is unable to resist the call to duty. And, he finds a way to win the blessing of his constituents and the Board of Supervisors, and, he's off to Texas. Is at least one corrupt act provable? Can they revisit a botched prosecution? More importantly, will they? How will they proceed against a defense attorney who was personally trained by Travers? And, why did he insist Travers represent Dawn? Which are false clues? Which ones are true? Does Travers know? He does. But, do you?

About the Author

Martin C. Brhel, Jr., is a man of many parts, as Tombstone's Doc Holliday might observe.

Marty insists he's been there, done that so many times, he feels more like Walter Mitty, than Walter Mitty. Put another way? He's worn a few fedoras during his adventurous journey.

During law school, he clerked for both public and private law firms. He guest-lectured Con Law I students on search & seizure issues, while he was still in Con Law II. After taking the grueling California bar exam, he was sworn in. And, as a private attorney, he was soon representing accused criminals.

Post-law school, he's worn many hats, including but not necessarily limited to:
• Defense counsel
• DMV Staff Counsel
• Prosecutor
• Post-DA-retirement civil rights lawyer
• Riverside Sheriffs' Association Legal Defense Trust Administrator
• Board of Parole Hearings
• POST-certified academy level instructor
• Judge Pro Tempore
• Author
• Radio talk show host-Crimefighters

The award winning former DA's next escapade, you ask? Maybe Truth Travers knows...
