Body Politic

a lawyer for the rich and influential, Griffin Dowell has always looked the other way when it came to shady political dealings.  He's even used his considerable legal skills to convince other prying eyes to do likewise.  But when a friend is murdered and Griffin's own life is threatened, his work suddenly becomes very personal.

Meanwhile, Dr. Avraham Hagel--a top scientist in stem cell research and a favorite political ally of the president's wife--commits suicide on a lonely country road.  All that remains for his assistant, Amanda Collins, is a clandestine note, a key to an airport locker, and an old rubber doll.  When Amanda discovers people are willing to kill for what she suddenly possesses, she must decipher the mysteries threatening her life.

Two unlikely people, worlds apart, each struggle to uncover deception--and encounter the perilous consequences of facing extreme power with truth.

Reviews

“Body Politic is heart wrenching: Medical science and political drama with a spiritual punch. Glyn J. Godwin’s legal thriller challenges the best out there. In a word: Grishamesque with a twist.”
Eric Wiggin, author of Blood Moon Rising

“I picked up a book this weekend written by a local author. His name is Glyn Godwin. He’s an attorney. He could be the next Grisham. I’m telling you, I picked that book up—I started reading it on Saturday afternoon. It’s called Body Politic— I could not put that book down until I finished reading it two o’clock Sunday.”
Sally Ann Roberts, WWL-TV Morning News Show

“Glyn J. Godwin has penned a gritty legal thriller that’s sure to capture the imaginations of readers everywhere—and make them think at the same time. Body Politic is readily recommended."
