The former United States Attorney had become the most prominent defense counsel in New York City. His law firm, The Union and Metropolitan, had carefully cultivated their superstar. He moved to the other side to defend high profile corporate executives from federal prosecution at exorbitant hourly rates. But the biggest case in world history was foisted upon him in a high velocity whirlwind of events. Nick de'Conti is defending the president for the highest of high crimes: Treason! Shuttling between New York and Washington D.C., the case, the politics, the culture clash, the impromptu love affair with the opposing federal prosecutor and the trial of the millennium provide a backdrop for a once in a lifetime test of conscience.Niccolò Cérvantés de'Conti: The de'Conti Series features the protagonist, Niccolò Cérvantés de'Conti . He is a lawyer who progresses from a dirty-faced kid in East Harlem to New York City Prosecutor to U.S. Attorney to a high priced, white-shoe lawyer practicing atop Rockefeller Plaza. These works are raw, edgy, graphic, thought-provoking, multi-ethnic and interracial. de'Conti is no stereotypical lawyer. Nick de'Conti is a good and decent man, an ethnic-brilliant and wealthy. He is a mixture of Basque and Southern Italian, which explains his penchant for independent thought and action, and the passion with which he approaches everything in his life. The works trace his life from the depths of his squalid, childhood poverty in East Harlem to his unimagined success, albeit troubled, conflicted and, at times, ethically bereft. The murder of his twenty year old daughter in the first novel ( Let No Man Be My Albatross ) consumes him, defines his life and impels him to do things to which no ordinary lawyer would give a first thought.
