Trial and Error by Yago Novo
Yago (Jesus) Novo was born in Havana, Cuba. Both his parents were children of Spanish immigrants who fled to Cuba to escape the military draft for the war in Morocco. Then the Communist revolution happened, and the family was on the move again, this time back to the Fatherland, Spain. After a thirteen month stint in Madrid, the Novo’s moved to the U.S. Yago attended college, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s in Political Science, and then went on to Law School, graduating with Honors in the top 5% of his class. All these travels and tribulations inspired Yago to write “Trial and Error”, with the main characters, Joshua Newman and Samuel Lewis both being loosely based on his own experiences. Yago Novo has been writing fiction since he was a young adolescent; however “Trial and Error” is his first serious project. He lives with his wife and children in Miami, Florida where he practices law.
Joshua Newman is a fantastic lawyer; young, handsome, single, and living in one of the most exciting cities in North America: Miami Beach, Florida. His life, albeit short, has been a series of ups and downs: birth in a beautiful Soviet city, exile in frigid Siberia, pit stop in Israel, settled down in the U.S. of A. That’s why he is so worried, because he is in the upswing, having the time of his life and he knows that calamity lurks in every corner. Sure enough, out of the blue comes a nasty prosecutor, filing trumped-up charges against him that could land him in prison for a long time, and destroy his livelihood in the process. Fortunately for him, one of the best defense attorneys in the area has accepted to represent him. Will this legal eagle be able to decipher what has motivated this witch hunt? Will Joshua beat the rap? The answer will be uncovered by trial and error. Read this novel here.
