About the Book

For the most part this is an angry story.  A tale of betrayal by judges and lawyers of their solemn oath who cheated a Cajun family out of $18,792,259.20, in oil royalties.

Claverie v Texon, is a true story and is documented in the public record.  This is not just a story for lawyers and judges but for the 18-wheeler “gear-jammer” as well.  The Claveries and their attorney in the federal summary judgment hearing and the state hearing were “mugged” by four federal judges and one state judge in this novel.  Texon is a pseudonym.

References to the characteristics of the passenger jet are true.  The flight in the hurricane on its way to Puerto Rico with the insane lesbian sky-jacker is pure fiction.  The specifics of the airline caterers’ employees’ opportunity for sneaking on board an airliner is still true today.  God forbid.  This novel is intended for the adventurous and all thoughtful members of the Bar.
