Greenwich lawyer and law professor Jeff Cooper will discuss his journey from lawyer to novelist and his latest legal thriller, The Final Account, which is set in Greenwich. Drawing upon the author’s thirty years as a member of the bar, the novel spins a tale of a lawyer who catches his senior partner embezzling funds from a millionaire’s estate and slowly stumbles into a far larger conspiracy involving some of Connecticut’s most powerful figures.
In addition to winning the Independent Press Award, the novel’s initial critical reviews have been favorable. The Midwest Book Review opined that the book “will delight seasoned thriller audiences” and added that “the events ring with an authenticity and attraction that makes the book nearly impossible to put down.” The novel is a sequel to Cooper’s debut, After the Fact, which hit several bestseller lists and was a finalist for the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense.
Books may be purchased at the Museum Store in advance or on the day of the program for signing by the author. Admission to the talk is FREE, but space is limited and registration is recommended.
