Matt DeMarco's anger has fueled his success as a prosecutor, but it has a cost that he learns has to be paid in full as he struggles against internal and external demons as he sets out to save his son Michael from an unjust charge of murder.

​

Half black, half Chinese, attorney Jade Lee is too beautiful for her own good. She has given up on men, and is on the verge of losing her son to his biological father, a man who deals in filth, when she and Matt join forces to save Michael, and each other.

​

Matt DeMarco is an accomplished Manhattan attorney with more than his share of emotional baggage. His marriage ended disastrously, his ex-wife has pulled their son away from him, and her remarriage to a hugely successful Arab businessman has created complications for Matt on multiple levels. However, his life shifts from troubled to imperiled when two cops – men he's known for a long time – come into his home and arrest his son as the prime suspect in the murder of the boy's girlfriend.

​

Suddenly, the enmity between Matt and his only child is no longer relevant. Matt must do everything he can to clear his son, who he fully believes is innocent. Doing so will require him to quit his job and make enemies of former friends – and it will throw him up against forces he barely knew existed and can only begin to comprehend how to battle.

​

Gods and Fathers is at once a powerful mystery and a provocative international thriller, all of it presented with LePore's signature fascinating characters placed in dire circumstances where every choice poses new and potentially fatal challenges.
