At a chance encounter at his wife's gravesite, attorney Frank McNamara meets the survivors of a Latino family who claim that his great-grandfather stole their land and murdered their relatives to cover up the theft. He learns that in 1948, the Cortez and Kilgore families had co-existed peacefully in a Dallas neighborhood until a mysterious family feud erupted, resulting in the slaughter of six people. In this fast-paced, suspense thriller, he vows to make amends, but Frank will have to overcome avaricious real estate developers, mob hit men, and even the boss of his own law firm to accomplish the task. Can he see justice done and retain his integrity, without compromising his legal duties to uphold the law and preserve his clients secrets?

The Kilgore Curse is Larry Pivnick's first published novel, but he's been writing all his life. In medical school (MD, Toronto, 1971), he wrote scientific papers and short stories for amusement. During law school (JD, SMU, 1993), he wrote court briefs and tinkered with novels. Then he graduated from SMU's Creative Writing Program in 2007. The Kilgore Curse is the culmination of his multifaceted education, extensive experience, peripatetic travel, and unfettered imagination. Born and raised in Toronto, Dr. Pivnick has practiced family medicine in Dallas for the past thirty-six years and law for twenty. He has recently retired in order to write fiction full time. He lives in Dallas with Linda, his devoted wife of 43 years. Together they have two grown children and four extraordinary grandchildren. They love to travel and play golf, though, to his eternal bemusement, she is the better golfer.
