 High
Crimes by Joseph Finder
When (not if---the deal has already been signed) this terrific thriller
gets made into a movie, you might see Morgan Freeman as a crusty lawyer
who specializes in taking on the military establishment tell the actress
playing ace Boston barrister and Harvard Law professor Claire Heller
Chapman, "Every civilian who's ever gone into a military general court-martial
and tried to attack the foundations of the military has lost his case.
No exceptions. The military is a tight, closed fraternity. They take
it real serious. Military justice is a deadly serious business." Claire
has to realize this as she prepares to defend her husband--the man
she knows as Tom Chapman, but who the Army says is Ron Kubik-- on
charges that he took part in a massacre of 87 civilians in San Salvador
13 years before. Full of doubts about Tom's innocence and her own
ability to prove it in an unfamiliar arena, Claire is brought to exciting,
moving life by the extravagantly gifted Joseph Finder, whose previous
thrillers (Extraordinary Powers, The Zero Hour) are available in paperback.

SYNOPSIS
|
You
live the life you had always pictured: a thriving career, a beautiful
house, and most importantly, a wonderful husband. Someone you love
and know better than anyone else.
But suppose everything you know - everything you trust - about him
and your life together may be a lie. For Claire Kubik, that nightmare
scenario has become all too real.
Claire, a high-powered attorney, and her husband Tom, a successful
contractor with his own business, lead the idyllic Marin County life.
They're madly in love and planning to have a family. But a random
crime - a bungled burglary - at their home triggers a chain of events
that shatters their world.
Soon after the burglary, FBI agents accost them and, to Claire's shock,
arrest Tom. The charge: Under his real name, Ronald Chapman, Tom,
as a covert military operative, murdered civilians in El Salvador,
and has been a fugitive for the past fifteen years.
Claire at first believes these charges must be a case of mistaken
identity. But Tom admits he is Ronald Chapman and he was part of a
clandestine operation that did result in a massacre for which Tom
was blamed. But he assures Claire of his innocence and that the real
perpetrators made Tom their fall guy because he alone could identify
them as the men who gave and executed the order.
Claire prepares to defend her husband in a top-secret military court,
where none of the rules she knows so well apply. When a "greenhorn"
military attorney, Lt. Embry, is assigned to their case, Claire realizes
she needs help from someone who knows these rules - and is willing
to break them. She enlists the aid of a "wild card": Charlie Grimes,
a former military attorney who relishes the opportunity to take on
the very hierarchy that disgraced him years earlier.
Squaring off against the formidable military fraternity both in and
out of the courtroom, Claire and Grimes gradually begin to uncover
what could be a scandalous cover-up perpetrated by one of the most
highly decorated and politically connected officers in the Army. Claire
must now risk her career and even her life in her quest for the truth.
