A Christian Science Monitor Best Book of the Year Winner of the Philadelphia Athenaeum Literary Award In the Shadow of the Law is the story of Morgan Siler, a powerful Washington, D.C., law firm that has transformed itself from a traditional practice serving those most in need into a shrewd giant serving the interests of the wealthy. Through the intertwined stories of a pro bono murder case and a class action lawsuit brought against a large chemical company, we meet the fascinating, engaging, and conflicted characters that make up this world: Mark Clayton, the rookie; Walker Eliot, the prodigy; Katja Phillips, the idealist; and Harold Fineman, the brilliant and burned-out partner, leader of the chemical company's defense team. With a thorny and breathtakingly paced narrative, In the Shadow of the Law marks the arrival of a writer who "stakes a firm claim to the literary territory of Scott Turow" (The Times-Picayune, New Orleans).

(A sophisticated legal thriller that plunges readers into ...)
A sophisticated legal thriller that plunges readers into the debate within the US government surrounding the imprisonment of thousands of Japanese-Americans during World War II. When the news broke about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Caswell “Cash” Harrison was all set to drop out of law school and join the army… until he flunked the physical. Instead, he’s given the opportunity to serve as a clerk to Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black. He and another clerk stumble onto a potentially huge conspiracy aimed at guiding the court’s interests, and the cases dealing with the constitutionality of the prison camps created to detain Japanese-Americans seem to play a key part. Then Cash’s colleague dies under mysterious circumstances, and the young, idealistic lawyer is determined to get at the truth. His investigation will take him from the office of J. Edgar Hoover to an internment camp in California, where he directly confronts the consequences of America’s wartime policies. Kermit Roosevelt combines the momentum of a top-notch legal thriller with a thoughtful examination of one of the worst civil rights violations in US history in this long-awaited follow-up to In the Shadow of the Law.

Under careful tutelage at home and at the Groton School (1902 - 08), he found pleasure in language and literature. On Western outings with his father's friends he discovered delight also in hunting and rough adventure. In 1909, while at Harvard, he accompanied his father on an expedition to East Africa, serving as photographer. As his father noted with delight, "the rather timid boy of four years ago has turned out a perfectly cool and daring fellow" (Letters, VII, 10). The ten-month journey fulfilled all his schoolboy imaginings, and inclined him further away from any routine career. Though he returned to Harvard and received the A. B. degree in 1912, he spent the summer of 1911 in Arizona hunting mountain sheep.
Upon graduation, he passed up an opening in New York to go into engineering with the Brazil Railroad Company. There, late in 1913, he joined his father on an expedition into the Brazilian wilderness to trace the uncharted River of Doubt, a harrowing exploration that almost cost his father's life.

On June 11, 1914, in Madrid, Kermit married Belle Wyatt Willard, daughter of the United States ambassador to Spain. They had four children: Kermit, Joseph Willard, Belle Wyatt, and Dirck. The young couple settled in Buenos Aires, Argentina,
