STORY SYNOPSIS Welcome to LAW SCHOOL. A Murder Mystery That Breaks the Laws of Fiction You better stay awake. You better pay attention. Seth Sentel is a nice guy. He's humble, tactile. Honest too. Then, what's he doing in law school? Well, he doesn't know either. It's an Old South University town; it's 1985, the Reagan era. Times were good, but people could still be bad--just not Seth. And, he senses that something about his law school just ain't right. Something--other than him--feels out of place. Then, two students are murdered. Then two more--both good friends of Seth's--are shot in a hunting accident . . or are they? The local authorities have it all wrong: wrong suspect, wrong crime. Seth's not sure what to do, not sure who to blame, not even sure who he is. He doesn't know it yet, but he loves truth, and he knows how to find it. But, he needs help: help finding the truth . . . help finding himself. Enter Hugo Black, depressed private investigator. He's just a goof off with a questionable work history . . or is he? He knows the real world: the real world of crime, the real world of substance abuse. Enter also François Bernaut', chef to the University chancellor. He's just an over-expressive romantic. Really? He knows women; he knows justice. There's also ole man Mozz, law school coffee merchant extraordinaire. He's just a kindly, old-school black man. Think twice. He knows the law school, and he knows more about "knowing" than anyone there. Even with a little help, Seth is Seth. He's untested; so, he gets scared. He's naïve; so, he gets fooled. Will he get justice? Or, will he cut and run? Maybe he'll start being himself, and start seeing what's real--and what's not. LAW SCHOOL is all about mystery, all about action, all about law school, and all about growing up fast. It's also all about how some things--and some people--just ain't what they seem. Again, LAW SCHOOL has already sold thousands of copies and thereby raised needed funds for orphans and (previously) for tornado victims. WE HOPE YOU'LL HELP IT RAISE EVEN MORE.
About the Author: Hense [hen(t)s] R. Ellis II is a small town guy, a 1985 graduate of the University of Alabama School of Law, and a former Assistant Attorney General who spent ten years fighting the bad guys . . . until some of them began to remind him of certain fellow members of the bar. He now works with a private lender and focuses his efforts on providing low interest rate church loans. He likes to write, to help orphan children, and to travel. AUTHOR'S NOTE When I wrote LAW SCHOOL, I sought to add some new ingredients to the legal thriller format. Hence, as you read this story, you should find unique characters (a curious protagonist, an anti-hero with a sense of humor), a unique setting (LAW SCHOOL may be the first mystery ever set in and around a law school.), a unique genre (a legal thriller blended with a coming-of-age story), and a healthy measure of themes and morals, e.g., "The first thing to learn about the real world is that it's mostly fake." Hence, when you're in LAW SCHOOL, it is wise to stay awake; it is wise to pay attention.
