James Garrison receives national recognition through the INDEPENDENT PRESS AWARD®!

BROOKLAND, Ark. - May 4, 2020 - PRLog -- The INDEPENDENT PRESS AWARD recognized The Safecracker by James Garrison in the category of Legal Thriller as a distinguished favorite.

The competition is judged by experts from different aspects of the book industry, including publishers, writers, editors, book cover designers and professional copywriters. Selected award winners and distinguished favorites are based on overall excellence.

In James Garrrison's legal crime thriller, The Safecracker, idealistic young lawyer Patricia Egan has a housemate she doesn't like and a client she doesn't want—a professional safecracker who seems far removed from the well-heeled civil clients her firm has been representing. But the safecracker and her former clients are intricately linked in their respective criminal enterprises, something they want no one to discover, certainly not Patricia or her fellow lawyer and housemate, Jack Alexander. There's a string of dead and maimed to prove it.

"The Safecracker is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek legal thriller, which sometimes slips in a little humor or a subtle (or maybe not so subtle) parody of traditional genre fiction, including the John Grisham type. Lawyers named McFee and Sharp. A villain called Fisheye. A safecracker who tries to steal a safe from a fast food restaurant rather than just open it and take the money. And the safe is encased in a block of concrete. Then there's a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of a dog named Princess," Garrison explains.

In 2020, the INDEPENDENT PRESS AWARD had entries worldwide. Participating authors and publishers reside in countries such as Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, India, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, and others. Books submitted included writers located in cities such as Austin to Memphis to Santa Cruz; from Copenhagen to Mumbai; from Albuquerque to Staten Island; from Boise to Honolulu, and others.

"We are thrilled to announce the winners and distinguished favorites in our annual 2020 INDEPENDENT PRESS AWARD. This year included a myriad of excellent independently published books. It is clear that independents are prospering in every corner of the earth. We are so proud to be highlighting key titles representing global independent publishing." said awards sponsor Gabrielle Olczak.
