Barry J. Freeman is a retired Chicago attorney, who now lives in suburban Lincolnshire, Illinois, with his beautiful, curly-haired wife, two face-licking, overindulged dogs, and two love-but-ignore-you cats. He and his wife have improved the world by giving it two female and two male children, who have in turn given them five wonderful grandsons destined to do great things. Since his retirement, the author has published two works of light poetry relating to accompanying photography, and one novel, (And Other Immoral Purposes) prior to this one (A Tale of Two Lawyers). His novels explore the law business, a subject about which he knows well.
