Lay down my sword & shield  Cover Image Book Book

Lay down my sword & shield / James Lee Burke.

Summary:

Against the backdrop of growing civil rights turmoil in a sultry border town, the hard-drinking ex-POW attorney makes a bid for a congressional seat -- and finds himself embroiled in the seamy world of Texas powerbrokers. And when Hack attempts to overturn an old army buddy's conviction, and crosses paths with a beautiful union organizer, he finds both a new love and a new purpose as he breaks free from the shackles of wealth and expectation to bring justice to the underserved.
