Joined by his daughter, Melinda, a young defense attorney who believes the person arrested innocent; his hacker sidekick Mort; patient assistant Sarah; and bodyguard Andy, Lowell races against time to prove the innocence of Johnny Colbert, a mouthy bartender accused of the crime.

Birth charts and street smarts help Lowell sort out the misdirections of a cast of characters, ranging from the judge’s clerk to the judge’s life itself, to trace the crime back to a surprising source.

Mitchell Scott Lewis has been a practicing astrologer?and teacher?in New York City for more than twenty years. For a dozen years, he worked on the Mercantile Exchange as an astro-economist, where he authored a newsletter, “Trading By Starlight.” He has appeared on 20/20 and been quoted in Barron’s, the New York Post and other publications. In his newsletters, radio and TV appearances, and lectures at the Princeton Club from 1999-2009, he successfully predicted a year in advance the rise of oil prices, the exact top of the housing market, the deterioration of the mortgage business, the current recession, and the 2008 stock market crash, all of which happened within days of his predictions. His clientele include leading financiers, health professionals, show business figures and people from all walks of life. He has been invited to lecture at the next United Astrology Conference in 2011, the largest assembly of astrologers in America. Mitchell is also an accomplished jazz pianist and singer-songwriter with a nationally-charted single. His father, to whom this book is dedicated, was Irwin Lewis, novelist and author of dozens of radio and early TV shows, including Suspense Theatre.
