MILWAUKEE, WI - August 25, 2023 - Lewis Allan, the dynamic pseudonym for a powerful duo -- a seasoned criminal defense attorney and a gifted freelance writer are making waves in the literary world. Together, they’ve penned an immersive legal drama that captures the heart and soul of Milwaukee. "Mouse in the Box" is a gripping tale set against the backdrop of Milwaukee's most violent year. As crime rates surge, criminal defense attorney Mason Mitchell dives deep into a whirlpool of dangerous cases, defending everyone from drug dealers to killers. But, beneath the courtroom bravado, he battles inner demons and external pressures. As racial tensions boil over and corruption spreads, Mason must confront his own beliefs about justice.
“The novel doesn’t just narrate; it interrogates. Milwaukee becomes a living, breathing entity, with its own scars and stories,” says media influencer and bestselling author Dr. Melissa Caudle. “Readers won't just delve into Mason’s challenges—they'll grapple with broader societal themes, from systemic racism to the nuances of the legal system.” "Mouse in the Box" isn’t the product of a singular mind, but a collaborative masterpiece by two individuals under the pen name, Lewis Allan. Russell Jones, a seasoned criminal defense attorney, brings authenticity to the courtroom drama with his firsthand experience from over 300 jury trials, including more than fifty homicide trials. On the other side, Jason Wrubell infuses the narrative with eclectic life experiences, from being a left-handed drummer to journeying globally and honing his writing prowess. Their combined narrative, while majorly fictional, does boast one genuine character - Clyde, a faithful canine companion, grounded in reality, and it will keep you up all night,” says Caudle.
The Story that Grips Tight
While the novel's legal intricacies draw readers into the nitty-gritty of court procedures, it’s the underlying social commentary that sets "Mouse in the Box" apart. Allan’s incisive writing style captures the heartbeat of a city in turmoil, touching on issues of systemic racism, police corruption, and the often-imperfect machinery of the justice system. It is a tale that serves both as an electrifying thriller and a deep reflection on modern America's socio-political climate.
