On one side of the window sits Kenneth Deatherage, sentenced to death for the brutal rape and murder of a young woman. On the other side is Nate Abbitt, a successful prosecutor until he drank his way through a midlife crisis. Nate's only path to redemption is to represent Deatherage on appeal, but his investigation soon uncovers hints of corruption in the county justice system, and Nate finds himself accused of murder by the same forces that convicted his client. As Nate risks his life - and several others - in the fight to clear his name, he makes the nasty discovery that he and his client have much more in common than he'd like to admit. ˃˃˃ Intelligent, atmospheric, achingly romantic legal thriller “Ken Oder debuts with an intelligent, atmospheric, and achingly romantic legal thriller.

Keeping the Promise is a collection of fifty stories about the author’s personal experiences. From encounters with interesting people like Muhammad Ali, President Clinton, Anna Anderson, who claimed to be the daughter of the Tsar of Russia, and Harold Swanson, Hollywood’s first literary agent, to coming to grips with life and death decisions, the trauma of aging, the heartbreak of dementia, the burden of representing a death row defendant, and the angst of enduring a pandemic, these stories span the spectrum of human emotion. They make you laugh and they make you cry, often at the same time, as each essay offers a different perspective on the art of living a long full life.
