Big Law attorneys [have] … published thrillers during the past year. These lawyer-writers describe women and men who’ve enjoyed exotic beaches and dinner parties, who bid for power at the top of the federal government and who risk themselves to save the United States or, at least, solve a mystery. Cym Lowell, a McDermott, Will & Emery tax partner based in Dallas and Vietnam War veteran, self-published the novel “Jaspar’s War” in March. The book describes the wife of the secretary of the Treasury as she travels across the world to rescue her family after a mysterious plane crash. There’s one question Lowell hears more than others. “How much research did this take?” he said. “And I just smile and say, ‘None, because I’ve lived this.'” Of all the far-flung scenes in Lowell’s book, he’s only failed to visit one: Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
