Whiskey With Chaser: The John Clements Novels

by Jim Fraiser

WHISKEY Jackson, Mississippi, attorney John Clements is charged with representing Roosevelt Daulks, the nephew of a prominent African-American city councilmember, who is accused of brutally murdering an elderly woman. Despite suspicions of his client’s guilt, Clements sees a successful defense as a means of garnering more business in the black community and higher political connections all around. When a pretrial victory springs Daulks, and Clements learns that his client plans a killing spree to eliminate all witnesses to his crime, Clements must decide whether to turn in his well-connected client, thereby risking his own life, or to keep silent, reap substantial monetary rewards, and live to enjoy them. CHASER John Clements awakens in a Leland, Mississippi, cemetery after a New Year’s Eve drinking binge, only to find himself locked at the heart of an unthinkable apocalyptic nightmare. A self-proclaimed social revolutionary has spread plague throughout the Mississippi Delta in a mad scheme to establish a new social order! Now Clements, Dr. Allison Levine, Rev. Clay Richmond, and F.B.I. Agent Bill Rhodes must stop a national Armageddon, if only they can survive the new terror that now stalks them.
