False Convictions by Tim Green

Tim Green is one of my favorite top five authors. Texan Casey Jordan is an attorney with the Freedom Project, a charity helping wrongfully convicted prisoners
Casey investigates a small town in New York and finds lies by the DA, police, and the judge. Gas leases worth billions and environmental issues are involved.
Is billionaire philanthropist and his money partners helping or using Casey? Is tax evansion an issue? This is a good legal thriller with lots of possibilities. Be a sleuth!!!

Read My Pins by Madeleine Albright

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright used pins as part of her diplomatic signature. She used brooches to send silent messages. The book has over 200 photographs of her diverse collection of pins. Secretary Albright has a collector's eye and recognizes the communicative ability of what seems ordinary.
Jewelry has along history. Marvel at the power of pins.
