THE CAUSE OF ACTION Book 3 in the Devlin series • May 1, 2025 “Utterly compelling, entertaining, and stunningly grounded in exacting details, the Devlin series by Landon J. Napoleon ventures through uncharted terrain: a jam-packed journey through the entire career arc of a trial lawyer. Plan on staying up late.” —Grant Woods, former Arizona Attorney General IT’S 1999: WELCOME TO Y2K HYSTERIA, AND A HISTORY-MAKING LEGAL CASE. When a high-profile church leader gets arrested, his lawyer looks for help from an old friend: Connor J. Devlin, who’s reluctant to dip back into the criminal defense world. Especially in a case making headlines around the world—for all the wrong reasons. Almost three decades into his career, with his own caseload already bursting at the seams, Devlin doesn’t want or need the spotlight, or the notoriety. Simultaneously, the onetime barely prepared law-school student has become the erstwhile teacher. Shelby Cannon, a thirtysomething Ivy League rising star, rents an office at Devlin & Associates to learn firsthand from the master how to take on—and beat—the goliaths: big government, big business, and big medicine. As Devlin inexorably gets reeled back into the defense-lawyer game, unlikely clients emerge from his past—including one with disturbing news of a wrongful death. Everything hangs in the balance: As the entire world barrels toward Y2K and a potentially explosive conclusion to the century, so too does Devlin’s career. Landon J. Napoleon was born in Boulder, Colorado, and grew up in nearby Ft. Collins. When he was ten he penned his first novella during a summer writing cheered on by his librarian mom. He has since penned 19 fiction and non-fiction books. His debut novel "ZigZag" received the coveted Kirkus Reviews star, was a Barnes & Noble “Discover Great New Writers” finalist, and was adapted for a feature film starring John Leguizamo, Wesley Snipes, and Oliver Platt. He is a Kirkus Reviews “Top 100 independent books 2021” recipient (for "Grinnin’ Like a Jackass Eatin’ Briars") and his biography "Burning Shield: The Jason Schechterle Story" debuted in the Amazon TOP 100 for biographies and memoirs and was an “Arizona Republic Recommends” selection for March 2014.
