Author Bio & My Review~
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The one
thing he needs is a second chance. But it's the one thing he can never get--or
so he thinks.
A few months before his twenty-first birthday, Ethan missed the chance to save
his brother's life. Adrian was murdered on the steps of the courthouse in
Jacksonville, Florida. Ever since that fateful day, Ethan has sensed a deep
disconnect between the man he should have been and the one he has become. His
days play out a beat too slow, his mind rehashing the scene of his failure
again and again.
When Adrian's widow appears, asking for his help in uncovering what was really
behind his brother's death, Ethan is stunned. The legal case they were pursuing
was more far-reaching than he could have imagined--it could even threaten the
global power structure.
Ethan joins the search for answers at the ultimate cost. As he enters into his
own past, will he discover a means to redeem the future?
PRAISE FOR THIS BOOK:
"Bunn
continues to astonish with his vision. In Burden of Proof, he explores
fundamental issues of human relationships, regret, and the need we all share to
gain wisdom. I was profoundly moved."--Joseph Raia, chair, American Bar
Association International Law Section
"Burden of Proof hit me with the emotional equivalent of a Mack truck.
Beautiful and complex characters and plot. I loved this story and its
profoundly personal message. Wonderful!"--Sarah Gunning Moser, president,
Lighthouse for Literacy
"Burden of Proof beautifully demonstrates that a life spent in pursuit of
selfish ends holds the makings of profound emptiness. Bunn's rich characters
and compelling plot beautifully reveal how hope is still possible, even
here."--Dr. Brian J. Grim, president, Religious Freedom & Business
Foundation
"Bunn has outdone himself this time. Burden of Proof kept me hooked from
the very first page. This legal thriller invites us to consider the nature of
the world itself. Bunn has opened my mind to a new vision of the human
spirit."--Jeffrey Aresty, president, Internet Bar Organization
"Novels with otherworldly themes normally are not my cup of tea, but
Bunn's latest work is an amazing exception. The way he brings together all the
story's various components is truly memorable."--Carol Johnson, founder,

MY THOUGHTS:
This is an unusual and moving novel written by a master storyteller.
Author Davis Bunn has created a group of strong, multi-layered characters and split time settings which engaged me from page one clear through to the end of this amazing story.
The protagonist, Ethan Barrett, is a likeable man with many flaws and regrets. On his journey in this book he becomes open to learning new lessons, correcting mistakes previously committed, and allowing himself to see things from a new perspective.
The author's writing skills are exceptional; and as a reader, I felt as if I was in the middle of every scene because of the multi-sensory descriptive writing on each page of the book. Many emotions were awakened in this story--some happy, many sad.
I
have read at least a dozen Christian suspense books written by various
authors and published by different publishers in 2020, and I believe
this book is in my top three favorite books of the year. I will look forward to reading many more books by Davis Bunn in the future.
Highly-recommended for fans of Christian and clean fiction, Christian and clean historical fiction, and Christian and clean suspense.
This novel is completely clean in language and content.
