But the door isn't normal. Because it isn't just a door.

Firstly, they’re all dead. Secondly, they all died on my Birthday, April 14th and finally, they all died on April 14th, because I killed them.”When one of elderly residents of Malbrooke Grove Retirement Home receives a mysterious blank Birthday card in the mail, her carer is surprised and shocked by her violent reaction.

  Two attorney brothers. Two bullet-riddled corpses. Two sides to the story. 
   
  Ten years ago, a capital murder case in the heart of Texas split the Lynch family in two. Now, estranged lawyer brothers Travis and Jake Lynch find themselves on opposing sides of the courtroom in a high-profile, grisly double-murder case - with another accused criminal’s life on the line.  
   
  Conscience-stricken Travis left his high-powered law firm to become a public defender, while bullish Jake rose to become district attorney. The case pits brother against brother in a contest of wits, wills, and legal savvy that will shake the justice system to its core. Both Lynches are convinced they’re in the right, but the truth turns out to be more complicated - and deadly - than either could have possibly imagined.  
   
  A drug deal double-cross turns lethal, leaving two corpses and one victim paralyzed for life. The victim never saw the gunman, but he knows one name: Sam Park. Travis defended Sam’s brother years before, and his heart won’t let him turn down the case, even knowing it’ll bring him face-to-face with Jake after 10 years of cold silence. Jake, meanwhile, runs afoul of the Austin political machine and needs a high-profile conviction to win a tough upcoming election. And Sam, the star witness and prime suspect, won’t talk - not to Travis, and certainly not to the high-and-mighty DA - and time is running out.  
   
  Can these feuding brothers put aside a decade of enmity in the name of true justice? Or will the truth of what really happened that bloody night go to the grave with Sam Park?  
   
  Fans of Due Process by Scott Pratt, The Family Lawyer by James Patterson, Bluebird, Bluebird by Attica Locke, and The Fifth Justice by John Ellsworth will love this book.

They plan to load up on weapons, travel to the remote Afghan kingdom of Kafiristan and - through cunning and military force - become monarchs. When Carnehan returns alone two years later, he tells the narrator a fantastical tale: he and Dravot did become kings - even considered gods - only to watch the entire scheme fall apart after a bit of hubris proves their mortality.
