SEATTLE AUTHOR MAKES
PACIFIC NORTHWEST CONNECTION IN LATEST MILITARY OFFERING- By Cal Glomstad, formerly CBS/KIRO TV Channel 7 News (Seattle, Washington)-
Critically acclaimed author Norm Harris has chosen the Pacific
Northwest with its rich military history as the setting for his first
military mystery. The recently published Fruit of a Poisonous Tree
gets its start in a dark Seattle back alley. It soon spreads to
include real life settings of the Puget Sound Navy Shipyard, the
office of the Judge Advocate General, and Ft. Lewis.
Using the Pacific
Northwest as a launching pad, Fruit of a Poisonous Tree, rockets its
readers around the world as a female Navy lawyer (JAG) named Faydra
Green searches for the truth behind the brutal murder of a U.S. Navy
SEAL.
Along the way Harris takes advantage of his own military
experience as he creates local characters that spend their working
lives in and around a number of Puget Sound military bases. Harris, a
Seattle native, spent the last three years researching and writing the
novel.
Military enthusiasts will find his penchant for accuracy
refreshing. "I purposely focused on creating characters aboard
existing naval ships, working in real military bases, and citing
historic judgments in military courts law," writes Harris.
With
its local connection Harris's novel is quickly gaining attention from
the vast Pacific Northwest military population as well as readers who
enjoy a smart, believable suspense filled mystery.
