'Prisoner Prodigal Pawn' - A mind-blowing debut novel by Robert Sparkman

NEW YORK - April 22, 2015 - PRLog -- Robert Sparkman's debut novel, 'Prisoner Prodigal Pawn', an action-packed political thriller, was published in October 2014, and it has received high praise from critics and readers alike. It introduces the readers to the corrupt world of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and to the political plots that determine a successful law firm to get involved in the illegal affairs of a casino.

The main character, Elton Mozingo, works for the Baxter and Baxter law firm, and his career and personal life are on the right path. It's true that he doesn't keep in touch with his brother, Charles, who is a tribal police officer, nor with his father, who is in prison, but he doesn't actually want to. In the Mozingo family, Elton is the most successful. His perfect life is turned upside down when his friend and occasional lover, Kylee, is killed and Elton is framed by a mysterious rival who wants him in prison. This is how the hero ends up on the run from the justice he once served and which should have protected him. His only viable option is to find the real murderer, but things get even more complicated when he finds out his father was also framed years ago and is, in fact, innocent.

Through his book, Robert Sparkman does much more than offer his readers an exciting crime story filled with twists and turns. He invites them to ask themselves thought-provoking questions, such as what is justice, and how far can corruption go. 'Prisoner Prodigal Pawn' is a realistic political thriller that reminds readers of many things which are currently happening around us, whether we are aware of them or not.

'Prisoner Prodigal Pawn' has received amazing reviews, and it holds a 5-star rating on Amazon. Here is what some of the customers have said about it:
