The Memory Trap - E-book - ePub

In the early 1960s, Rob Chambers, a brilliant young Dallas attorney, finds himself ensnared in a dangerous game of money laundering by the son of his firm's largest client. If Rob refuses to participate, everyone dear to him will be murdered, starting with Wanda, the woman he cherishes. Propelled by fear for Wanda's safety, Rob is thrown into a world of lies, deceit and abuse of the legal system he swore to uphold.
He manages to keep his involvement hidden until an unexpected connection to the Kennedy assassination exposes him to the FBI, and his skillful efforts of concealment come unraveled. Hunted by the FBI and in the crosshairs of ruthless drug lords, Rob is inescapably cornered and desperate to save Wanda. He's left with one choice: take matters into his own hands and break free from this trap before it destroys both of them.     "Riveting! The Memory Trap is a gripping, suspense thriller that possesses elements of            literary romance.
A masterful storyteller, Joppie spins a unique tale of intrigue, involving a young lawyer, Rob Chambers, whose remarkable photographic memory lands him in dangerous waters with a vile drug-cartel organization and the FBI. Brace yourself, the shocking twists and turns will hold you captive."-Sherry Maysonave, award-winning author of The Girl Who Could Read Hearts and Tatae's Promise"Joppie's The Memory Trap is a thriller, with lawyers and drug dealers and blackmail, but what a thriller! Better written and less fantastical than the usual trite genre fare-though our hero, Rob, is a champion swimmer with a photographic memory-it takes the reader on a compelling ride that starts in Texas, ends in Texas and visits lots of other places in between.
The characters are well developed; the plot and subplots are tight. Stuff happens; twists happen, suspense and danger happen in spades, all weaving an engaging story for genre and literary readers alike."-William H. Reid, best selling author of A Dark Night in Aurora
