Suddenly, as Cogan's town finds itself weighing the possibilities, Sean finds himself under fire. Attacked on all sides by public and private opponents alike. What happens next may be more fact than fiction.
Ray Bourhis is uniquely qualified as a political pundit and proponent for change against corporate and political corruption. A lawyer and consumer advocate practicing out of San Francisco, California, Bourhis has been at the forefront of the battle against excessive power and greed for over three decades. A graduate of UC Berkeley’s prestigious Boalt Hall, he specializes in policyholder representation in cases involving the wrongful denial of long-term disability insurance claims. Ray credits an attempt by Elmhurst, Queens gang members to throw him, at the age of twelve, into a blazing bonfire, with helping him develop the survival skills needed to take on insurance companies and other entrenched bullies.
In addition to Revolt, Bourhis is the author of Insult to Injury, which has been optioned as a feature film, and his upcoming non-fiction work titled, This Ain’t Harvard. He lives in Ross and Montecito, California.
