Diminished Capacity Gregory Urbach

John Henry Lawrence, a former Army combat medic, wakes up in a Baltimore police station under arrest for shooting the President of the United States. He believes that unlikely, until evidence emerges that supports his guilt. With the nation in turmoil, Jack decides to take responsibility. He calls Army Intelligence to set up a cover story, that of an angry loner who spent the Second Afghan War as a file clerk, and then seeks a quick resolution. But time and events will make that impossible. A note from the author: The Diminished Capacity novels have nothing to do with contemporary politics. They are adventure stories that take place in a fictional timeline populated by fictional characters. The plots involve a combat veteran coping with post-traumatic stress following his service as a medic in the Second Afghan War. The repercussions following the President's death will not only affect him, but the people around him, the media, the president's family, and the country. Though this is a dark subject, these are not dark stories. They are about ordinary people striving to do the right thing in a complicated and unpredictable world.
