A suspenseful storyline in A Dry Hate: Power Versus The People brings current events to life as author Nancy Marshall weaves fact into fiction, providing realistic, sometimes sympathetic characters and motives. In addition, she provides an excellent backdrop of First Amendment issues and a display of power and propaganda in action - an easy and worthwhile read for those who want to understand Arizona immigration politics. Marshall, former director of the Arizona Civil Liberties Union and defense attorney for a jailed activist, is thoroughly familiar with the Constitutional issues that surface throughout the novel.

In early June, Professor Ivan Wilder had met Ms. Emily Hartwell, hotshot defense attorney, at the door of his classroom. Last night, they slept together under the shooting stars. This afternoon, two Deputies stuck them in separate stinking jail cells. How the hell?
With an abiding concern for fairness in the face of abuse of power, attorney Nancy Hicks Marshall defended one of the many persons arrested and jailed by Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Deputies but found innocent at trial. Marshall was born and raised on Long Island, educated in the East, and worked in New York City for several years. She moved to Arizona in 1975 and served almost five years as Executive Director of the Arizona Civil Liberties Union.

Author Nancy Hicks Marshall, an advocate for fairness and respect, draws upon her legal experience and familiarity with a county board of supervisors. By shining a light on these six men who courageously upheld their oath of office and their integrity, she offers this essential account of the 2020 elections and what we need to know going forward.A practicing attorney for many years, followed by a career in writing, Marshall has revisited the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in Arizona. Drawing on intimate in-person accounts and conversations about election "monsters," Marshall offers us insight into the courage and integrity of men whose actions prevented the steal of the 2020 elections in Arizona by unscrupulous extremists.Since childhood, Marshall has disliked the abuse of power. In 2009, she defended a young man who was unconstitutionally jailed in the auditorium of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors for exercising his First Amendment rights. That successful defense later led to her multiple award-winning novel, A Dry Hate, covering the time in Arizona history when a popular Sheriff jailed or "investigated" activists, brown people, and political opponents at will. Marshall has also authored both English and Spanish editions of A Rattler's Tale, Un Cuento de Una Serpiente de Cascabel in addition to Finding Zachariah in a Community Garden.
