Burden of Proof

The one thing he needs is a second chance. But it's the one thing he can never get--or so he thinks. 

Three weeks after his twenty-third birthday, Ethan missed the chance to save his brother's life when he was murdered on the steps of the courthouse in Jacksonville, Florida. Ever since that fateful day, Ethan has sensed a deep disconnect between the man he should have been and the one he has become. His days play out a beat too slow, his mind replaying the scene of his failure again and again.

But when his brother's widow appears, asking for his help in uncovering what was really behind his brother's death, Ethan is stunned to hear that she and her late husband were involved in a much larger case than he knew--one that threatens the global power structure. As Ethan joins the search for answers, he will enter into his own past--and discover a means of redeeming his future.

MY REVIEW: In "Burden of Proof", author Davis Bunn takes readers on an intense, thought-provoking journey through time and one man's conscience. Ethan Barrett has lived a life of missed chances, lost opportunities, and regrets. He remains haunted by the mystery of his brother Adrian's tragic death more than thirty years ago. Now, at the age of fifty five, Ethan has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. As he tries to come to grips with his fate, he receives a surprise visit from his brother's widow, Sonya, and his niece, Delia. Sonya is a scientist in the field of quantum physics, and she knows that Ethan is dying. She makes him a startling proposition--she can send him back in time to save his bother's life and change destiny. Ethan's own life won't be extended, but will he find redemption? Will he fall back into the same old bad habits, or has he learned how to truly care for others--can he make a difference? Fans of science fiction and time travel will appreciate Davis Bunn's storytelling in this inspirational suspense thriller.
