This photograph shows the duality of Jay Brandon: on one hand, he is a successful attorney in San Antonio, Texas, on the other, a mystery novelist.
With a Master's Degree in writing from Johns Hopkins University and experience as an attorney with the District Attorney's office in Bexar County and with the Fourth Court of Appeals, Jay knows his settings.
Each of his novels takes aspects of people, places and happenings in the world of law and adds Jay's own brand of gripping suspense and excellent writing.
A native Texan, he now devotes his time to writing and his law practice in San Antonio, where he lives with his wife and three children.
Jay's latest book is Grudge Match.
In the high stakes courtroom battles of his legal career, San Antonio District Attorney Chris Sinclair has prided himself on getting it right--sending society's dregs away for a long time. But when he discovers he wrongly sent a police officer to prison he begins to question his faith in the system.
Eight years ago Chris sent officer Steve Greerdon to jail. Recently, new DNA evidence gave Chris cause to undo the wrongful conviction and help clear Greerdon's name, but when two police officers are murdered and Greerdon is at the scene of the crime with no alibi, Chris is once again suspicious. Greerdon claims a police conspiracy wants to send him back to jail, or is Greerdon playing Chris for a fool?
