    About this ebook

    Casey Carpenter has three goals: Pass the bar exam before he reaches 21 years of age; Gain revenge against the crooked district attorney who executed his innocent father; Find Ed Cooper Jr who has run away to avoid prosecution for a crime he did not commit. Casey's wild goose chase takes him from a small town in Iowa to San Francisco, Seattle, Alaska, England, Norway, and at last to the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.

    Author

    Jesse W. Thompson

    After service in the Navy during WWTwo, I finished college on the GI Bill, then went on to Luther Seminary in St. Paul for three more years; from there as a pastor to Fairbanks, Alaska, then to a tour of duty as a Navy chaplain in San Diego and the Far East, followed by pastorates in Washington, California, and Minnesota.The more I learned, the less I believed of the hard-nosed doctrines of most religions and the denominations within those religions. I resigned from active involvement as a minister.Through all the years, I wrote, traveled, studied, entertained, MC'd banquets at conventions, did a few TV commercials, some theater work, and I continue to read, to learn, and to write as the years fly by.
