House Justice

Joe DeMarco #5 / 19

House Justice (Joe DeMarco #5) by Mike Lawson
Unrated

When an American defense contractor goes to Iran to sell missile technology, the CIA learns about it about it from a spy in Tehran. But when the story is leaked to an ambitious journalist, the spy is caught, brutally tortured, and executed.

Joe DeMarco's boss, Speaker of the House John Mahoney, tasks him with finding the leaker. But Mahoney has his own reasons for taking action. He once had an errant fling with the journalist who broke the story—and now that she's in jail for refusing to compromise her source, she's threatening to tell all unless Mahoney helps her.

But someone else is out to avenge the spy's death, and hoping DeMarco will lead him straight to his prey. And if DeMarco gets in the way, he'll have to die, too . . .

Mike Lawson

I was raised in Pueblo, Colorado with a passel of brothers and one sister, then attended college at Seattle University and got a degree in engineering. After college, I went to work for the U.S. Navy as a nuclear engineer and spent about thirty years working for the Navy’s nuclear power program. I spent some time in Washington D.C., but most of my career was at a large naval shipyard in Bremerton, Washington. At the shipyard I managed a number of different organizations related to overhauling nuclear powered submarines, cruisers, and aircraft carriers. I ended my career as a member of the government’s Senior Executive Service and as the top civilian at the shipyard. The influence of my former career on my writing is discussed briefly in the “Behind the Books” section of this website.

So how’d I go from nuclear engineering to writing? The short answer is I like to write, it’s fun for me, so I tried my hand at it. I tell people that if you want to be a writer you need some talent, a lot of persistence, and a whole lot of luck. In 2004, I got very lucky: a fantastic agent liked The Inside Ring and got me a two-book deal with a publisher. By the end of 2025, I will have published eighteen in my DeMarco series, three in my Kay Hamilton series, and my standalone, Redemption.

Regarding my personal life, let’s just leave at: I’m married, live in the Pacific Northwest, and when I’m not writing, I mostly play golf – or in reality, do whatever my wife tells me to do.
