About the Author

JACK CASEY has handled civil, criminal and constitutional cases in his solo law practice for the last thirty years. He also counseled New York State legislators, and watched as ambitious politicians rose and fell. Casey now brings his insider's perspective to the rivalry between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. In "Hamilton's Choice," his fifth historical novel, Casey dramatizes the last three years of Hamilton's life, and advances a new motive for Hamilton to accept Burr's challenge and attend the fatal duel. Casey graduated with honors from Yale University and Albany Law School, and has studied literature at Edinburgh and Cambridge Universities.
