D.A. DIARIES SYNOPSIS

Set in the hallowed courtrooms of our nation's capital, D.A. Diaries explores the explosive combat zone of urban trial law through the sharp eyes of Clay Franklin, an experienced homicide prosecutor equally as dedicated to chasing women as he is to bringing murderers to justice.

When a legendary teacher is shot in cold blood, D.C. panics. The high-profile trial is assigned to Clay, who is equally as dedicated to chasing women as he is to bringing murderers to justice.

As Clay confronts his new assignment, he reconnects with the woman of his dreams. But the euphoria of his budding relationship is overwhelmed by a progression of devastating events: key witnesses go silent, political pressure mounts, and a corrupt clan of police officers seeks to obliterate the case from the inside.

Praise for D.A. Diaries
"Whoever thinks you have to sacrifice authenticity to get great legal drama hasn't read Ken Eichner. D.A. Diaries is gritty, real—and impossible to put down. The characters sparkle, the rhythms are right, and the story is first-rate. Simply terrific."
Craig Turk, Executive Producer, FBI & The Good Wife
"Having run a homicide unit, this book is more real than Grisham—and, for me, even more enjoyable."
Honorable Judge William M. Manico, Former Chief of Homicide, Prince George's County D.A.'s Office, Maryland
"Ken Eichner not only knows what he is writing about, his characters are true-to-life, and his courtroom scenes crackle with authenticity. The material is fresh and real, and the writing is crisp. Just when we thought it had all been said and done before, we get this amazing book. I can't wait for the next one."
Greg Craig, Former Obama White House Counsel and Renowned Defense Attorney
"A captivating, witty, and authentic portrait of a legal system that the media never gets to see."
Drex Heikes, Los Angeles Times
"Ken Eichner writes as a D.A. who takes us inside the sordid, deadly world of crime and those who are vicious enough to commit it, delusional enough to think they can get away with it, or stupid enough to be hilarious in the attempt. Eichner was a career, work-a-day prosecutor. He didn't preen before TV cameras, but put in tough time unraveling the twists and turns of crime, and then pursuing the perps until they were nailed. This book works on all those levels."
Fred Dickey, Former Los Angeles Times Crime Reporter and Novelist
"An authentic, meaningful journey through the heart of the justice system."
Jacob Stein, Defense Attorney for Monica Lewinsky, Author of Legal Spectator, and Former President of the D.C. Bar
"Crisp and vivid . . . compelling . . ."
Jay Woodruff, Senior Editor, Esquire
