Chinook County flippantly brings to life author’s experiences as a small-town trial attorney for twenty years in Oregon, through the adventures of his alter-ego, Donnie Moore.Donnie’s adventures start with the harrowing chase, capture, and prosecution of drug dealers as the district attorney for Wheeler County in the time-warped, ranch lifestyle of rural central Oregon.The closure of a local lumber mill, which causes its laid-off workers to emigrate with their families from Wheeler County for work elsewhere, leads Donnie to move his family and his legal practice to Chinook City on the North Oregon Coast. That’s where Donnie encounters an incompetent prosecutor and a corrupt judge and county treasurer, the latter of whom gets killed by 'new money' (or survives, as an alternative possibility).Besides graphically retelling how Donnie obtains relief through the Court of Appeals for a defrauded probate client from an erroneous judgment by the corrupted trial court judge, Donnie’s adventurous tales help the reader to relive his fearful encounter with a 'suicide-by-cop' client and his adventures collaborating with a laid-off creamery ice cream truck driver-client, in converting local cow farts into an award-winning 'green' energy source for the farmers’ cooperative creamery. Now retired, author Don Moeller was a high school teacher in Los Angeles in the years following the Watts Riots of the mid-1960s before attending the University of Oregon Law School. After graduating from law school, author gained his initial criminal trial experience as a deputy district attorney in southern Oregon before moving to central Oregon, where he was elected district attorney for Wheeler County - prior to starting the private practice of law on the northern Oregon coast, where most of the tales contained in Chinook County occurred.Publisher’s website: http://sbprabooks.com/donmoeller
