Praise for "A Grave Breach":

--Grisham and Turow move over; there's a new legal thriller writer on the scene. James Macomber's A Grave Breach has the right mix of America's legal system against the backdrop of an international incident that threatens to spin out of control. First rate! David Hagberg (Sean Flannery), Best selling author of Allah's Scorpion, Assassin, White House, Joshua's Hammer and many more.

--I was privileged to read--and eventually to know--the late great Ross Thomas, the novelist who rightly enjoyed the nickname 'master of crime in the suites.' A Grave Breach wonderfully returns us to Thomas territory. The 'lawyers' at Loring, Matsen & Gould are technically attorneys but more accurately secret agents, and their story is spun beautifully from James Macomber's literary loom. A hard-boiled thriller that becomes more credible--and inevitable with the turning of every page. Jeremiah Healy, author of Turnabout and Invasion of Privacy

--A Grave Breach swiftly sweeps the reader into the violent and chaotic Balkan Wars...an exciting tale. Todd Bucholz, bestselling author of The Castro Gene

--In the league of guys like Clancy and Coonts. Geoff Metcalf, former national talk show host, commentator, Green Beret

--James Macomber has nailed it with "A Grave Breach". With the vitality of Vince Flynn's novels and the prescience of David Hagberg's "Joshua's Hammer", Macomber has projected current events into a whole new dimension in his startling new book. Paul Roat, editior of The Islander, (Anna Maria, FL)

--A skillful interweaving of past and present makes A Grave Breach an intruiging must-read. The book, which delves into the Serbian conflict and war crimes, makes you question who you would become during war and grateful for the security and safety of your life. Beautiful writing on some very disturbing topics." Alice Klein, Fresh Fiction.com

--This thriller is fast-paced, and the characters are extremely well developed. Historically accurate, the action leaps off the pages. The ending is as well crafted as the rest of this brilliant book. Morgan Chilson, Simegen.com

--Grisham and Clancy fans, add Macomber to your list! "A Grave Breach" delivers a brilliant combination of shrewd legal moves, the terrifying international underworld, the real-life crisis in the Balkans, and a movie-worthy plot for a story that will have you spinning. Vicki Landes, Bookmuse.com

--A very impressive novel from an author with the right stuff to challenge Turow, Grisham, and the other top guns of the genre. "A Grave Breach" works on two levels: as a taut legal thriller about a lwayer balancing his personal beliefs with the search for justice, and as an insightful exploration of the way right and wrong can be, in certain circumstances, very slippery concepts. Macomber is clearly a talented writer and John Cann is a strong, multilayered protagonist with the star power to keep this series going for a long time. David Pitt, BookList-American Library Association

"A Grave Breach" "A complex, action-filled thriller rich with historical background and stunning detail."

International lawyer John Cann would never defend a war criminal - particularly the Serb accused of horrific acts during the Bosnian War of the 1990s. But when his friend, mentor and Senior Partner Arthur Matsen needs his help, John has to make a tough decision.

Struggling with legal issues and ethical dilemmas in Europe, John's past is close behind. Never far from his mind is Janie Reston, the young college student viciously abused and left for dead by terrorists in "Bargained for Exchange".

As John uncovers what lies deep in Matsen's past, Janie is in increasing peril. Will past, present and future intersect or will time run out?

A complex, action-filled thriller that explodes in a dramatic crescendo, A Grave Breach is rich with historical background and stunning detail.

About the Book Reviews Buy On-line

In "Bargained for Exchange", the worlds of international terrorism and mideast conflict collide with American academia in a novel written long before 9/11 but with similarities described as downright "eerie". Main character John Cann's past and present come into play as events cross the Atlantic and span the world only to come back to roost in a spiral of intrigue, terrorism, mystery, and violence that affect both the very innocent and the very guilty. Macomber's intricately woven plot lines, along with his memorable characterizations, leave the reader demanding more. "Bargained for Exchange" is a must read set apart by its intelligent and articulate hero who is not your average tough guy and characters so real you feel them - for good or ill.

"Art & Part", with the international trial of Libyan security agents accused of the horrific bombing of Pan Am flight 103 and its crash in Lockerbie, Scotland as its background, tells the story of this horrifying event and its effects with a heavy dose of spellbinding intrigue and the requisite ration of adventure, action, and emotion. This 'edge-of-your-seat' thriller takes the reader from Amsterdam's seedy Canal Street district, to Virginia's CIA headquarters and even to the innermost circles of the White House. And finally, when the twisted events unravel, the tense rescue and shocking conclusion will leave you breathless and you'll again be touched by the strength and the compassion of this intelligent, articulate, and sometimes ruthless hero.
