CALABASAS, Calif. - Californer -- Jackson Blaine, the President of the United States and a former defense lawyer, shocks his estranged son Brian and the entire world when he decides to personally go to court to help defend the young man after he's arrested for murdering his best friend and college dormmate.
This is the compellingly unique premise of First Line of Defense, a political/legal thriller and murder mystery now available in print and e-book (http://www.ingramelliott.com/first_line_defense.html).
Tinged with action, suspense, romance, humor and more than a few unexpected twists, the new novel takes its 21-year-old lead protagonist, Brian Blaine, on a life-altering adventure that will dramatically change his relationship with his father and alter the course of his entire personal and professional life forever.
First Line of Defense marks award-winning author Peter Berk's third novel with IngramElliott, following the recent publication of TimeLock and TimeLock 2: The Kyoto Conspiracy, the first two entries in an imaginative series of sci-fi and action novels co-authored by Peter's father, Columbo and Mission: Impossible writer Howard Berk.

Carrying on the family writing legacy, Peter Berk's son Jordan just saw his very first novel - a time travel epic entitled The Timestream Verdict - also published by IngramElliott.
Copies of First Line of Defense and The Timestream Verdict can ordered through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, IndieBound, Apple iTunes, or may be purchased in select bookstores nationwide.
A Murder Nobody Else Could Have Committed…
When college student Ben Porter is murdered at point black range in his apartment near the University of Maryland, all evidence points directly to his best friend and roommate, Brian Blaine—the son of Jackson Blaine, the President of the United States. Despite Brian's estranged relationship with his father, Brian has no choice but to await trial in the house that was never a home—1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
These staggering events exacerbate the young man's rocky relationship with his demanding father and might very well end his budding romance with a beautiful pre-med student. But then, to the utter shock of the entire nation and especially his son, President Jackson Blaine, a former defense lawyer, does the unthinkable—he decides to represent Brian in court himself!
