Author's Book Series Ripped from the Headlines

Fact or fiction? It's an important question. What kind of story does the author want to tell? Many make that decision by looking to their own experiences. Others look to current or historical events for inspiration. But what if facts are so extreme, they seem impossible to be real? What happens when real-life crime and injustice read like works of fiction? That is the inspiration for author Mark M. Bello's Zachary Blake Betrayal Series.

"No author's decision is as important than choosing subject matter," said Bello. "Does the story get your author juices flowing?" I find my passion in current events and their impact on civil or criminal justice issues. Today's headlines are often discouraging; it is challenging to find a clear perspective or a reason to be optimistic. Zachary Blake Betrayal Series novels examine those issues from multiple perspectives."

After years of working on high profile legal cases, Bello wanted to provide readers a front row seat to litigants' quests for justice. Each book in the Zachary Blake Betrayal Series has been "ripped from the headlines," inspired by both Bello's legal experience and our current sociopolitical landscape. The results are entertaining and thought-provoking legal thrillers that appeal to all legal thriller lovers.

Betrayal of Faith is based on a compilation of high-profile clergy abuse cases, some of which were handled by Mr. Bello. As more and more cases surface, this novel exemplifies what's so painful, yet powerful and necessary about conversations of child sexual abuse and adult clergy betrayal.

Betrayal of Justice is intended to open one's eyes and mind to hate and prejudice lurking in our own backyards. Do our various religious and/or political beliefs really make us that much different? Should we celebrate our differences or fight and even kill over them? It is a must-read for legal and political fans alike.

Betrayal of Blue explores the dangers of politicizing domestic terrorism and the cultural and geographical battles waged in the law enforcement community when dealing with these issues.
