Looking for a civil rights who-done-it? This book has it all-intrigue, tutorials, politics, good guys, bad guys-all set in Vermont among Vermont lawyers and people who matter. This novel weaves the story of Black Lives Matter versus Second Amendment worshipers as the participants' lived it in court, at home and with friends over a cup of coffee. A flag and, yes, a kidnapping, runs through it. This tale is at heart an owner's manual on the ABCs of winning a civil rights struggle. It should be required reading in the first year of law school. -James Morse, retired Vermont Supreme Court Justice Vermont attorney Bernie Lambek, in his second novel, again tells a story about lawyers involved in a controversial case, this time involving civil liberties issues in the current historical moment-the social and political divisions provoked and nurtured by a president, the Black Lives Matter movement, supporters of Second Amendment gun rights, free speech and the First Amendment. The reader of Lambek's previous novel Uncivil Liberties will meet again characters from that story with new personal and legal issues, but need not have read the first novel to enjoy and learn from this one. An Intent to Commit is an engaging, thoughtful, and well-written novel. -Stephen Wizner, William O. Douglas Clinical Professor Emeritus, Yale Law School
