edit data

JACK CASEY is an attorney who has handled civil, criminal and constitutional matters for thirty years in his solo practice. In HAMILTON’S CHOICE, Casey dramatizes the last three years of Alexander Hamilton’s life, and plausibly explains why he went to his first and fatal duel. Casey’s newest release, INTO THE HEARTLAND, is a sweeping saga of adversity and triumph around the building of the Erie Canal (1810–1825). His other published historical novels are LILY OF THE MOHAWKS and THE TRIAL OF BAT SHEA. Casey graduated with honors from Yale University and Albany Law School, and has studied literature at Edinburgh and Cambridge Universities. He lives in Troy, NY and Raleigh, NC with his wife and editor, Victoria.

Quotes by Jack Casey (?)

“Politicians are like mackerel,” he often observes, “a day out of water they begin to stink.”

“Morris shakes his head in disbelief. “Pickering will cleave our nation in half and Burr will rise as president of a northern confederacy while you’re home planting potatoes?” Morris’s jowls quiver. “This is not the man of action I once knew.”
― Jack Casey, Hamilton's Choice
