Sinopsis

In "The Confessions of Artemas Quibble," Arthur Cheney Train employs a humorous and satirical narrative style to explore the absurdities of the American legal system at the turn of the 20th century. Through the eyes of the hapless and self-proclaimed 'greatest lawyer in the world,' Artemas Quibble, Train masterfully dissects the often absurd and convoluted nature of law and justice. Rich in witty dialogue and vivid characterizations, the book is both an engaging novel and a critical commentary on legal practices, illustrating the clash between idealism and reality within the courtroom context of the era. Arthur Cheney Train, renowned for his legal expertise and compelling storytelling, draws on his extensive experience as a practicing attorney and a federal prosecutor to infuse authenticity into Quibble's misadventures. His keen observations reveal not only his critique of the legal system but also his deep understanding of the human condition. Train's background allows him to intertwine humor with poignant reflections on morality and social justice, making Artemas Quibble a richly layered character. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in legal dramas, satire, and early 20th-century American literature. Train's sharp wit and keen insights invite readers to reconsider the complexities of justice while providing entertainment through Quibble's trials and tribulations. For both legal professionals and literature enthusiasts, "The Confessions of Artemas Quibble" remains a timeless exploration of the intertwined nature of law, society, and human folly.

    Tucker Snow is as tough as they come, hardened by decades working as an undercover narcotics agent for the Texas Department of Public Safety. Through special dispensation from the governor, he and his brother Harley cut a wide swath through the criminal element of Northeast Texas. But tragedy comes calling after taking a dream job as a special ranger with the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, when Tucker's wife and toddler are killed in a horrific traffic accident caused by a drug-addled felon. Close to breaking, Tucker sets his badge aside to move his surviving teenage daughter outside of Ganther Bluff, a quiet town with enough room for them to mourn their unexpected loss. But peace doesn't last long for a man like Tucker Snow. Instead of settling into small-town life to heal from such an unimaginable loss, a fresh kind of hell hits them with full force. Crimes and secrets strangle this rural community, and when a new form of meth with the street name of gravel gets too close to home, it's enough for Tucker to put his badge back on and call Harley for help. The town will ultimately be better off with him as a resident lawman, but this unforgiving landscape will threaten everything Tucker holds dear.
