Looking for a novel that is full of suspense, legal maneuvers, betrayal, murder as well as beautiful descriptive scenery of the majestic mountains of California then look no further than The Condor Song by Darryl Nyznyk. Here is a brief summary of the book.

Sean Donovan lost everything: his wife, kids, job, and license to practice law because of his stand on an ethical issue in his firm. Abandoned by his wife, betrayed by a friend, and fired by his firm, it has taken thirteen years to get going again, barely eking out a living while his former firm and friend have become the toast of the legal community. When Buck Anderson, a renowned environmentalist from Sean’s hometown is murdered, Sean reunites with Buck’s niece, Carla, at the old man’s funeral. She begs him to help the Sierra Club in its case on which Buck was working when he was murdered. Sean agrees, but realizes too late that his former law firm represents  the opposition with motives more sinister than their client’s ski development.

I will have to admit that at the beginning of the book I really did not like the main character of Sean Donovan. He was a disgraced lawyer who has given up on everything including being involved in his children’s life. But I soon learned after reading this book that looks can be deceiving. Sean Donovan is a character that was dealt a bad hand and it is only until he finds people who believe in him does he find the courage to overcome the odds. Isn’t that the case most people just need someone who believe in them to make their dreams take hold.
