Author Paula Priamos will be reading and discussing her new book, The Shyster’s Daughter, at The Claremont Forum BookShop on September 15th at 5:30 pm. This is a story of love, crime, and the unbreakable bond between a father and his daughter. Paula will be donating copies of The Shyster's Daughter to the Claremont Forum's Prison Library Project, which provides free reading materials to inmates nationwide.
As the daughter of a defense attorney, Paula was raised in and out of courtrooms. Unbeknownst to her family, she witnessed her father––the very man who defended such criminals as suspected murderers, rapists, high-level drug dealers, and white collar criminals––become one himself. When her father mysteriously dies, Priamos starts to investigate into his death. Her findings reveal a side of her father that wreaks havoc with the image of the hard-working and honest man her family has come to cherish and lead to a stunning revelation on how we choose to remember our family.
Based in Los Angeles, Paula Priamos has written for The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle and The Washington Post. She teaches at California State University San Bernadino and lives in Southern California with her husband, author James Brown, and stepsons.
