First it was Saving Saddam, now Montanamo. Chris Leibig is back with another timely current events thriller. When the small town of Twin Rivers, Montana seeks a federal contract to house Guantanamo Bay prisoners, everyone from a state senator to the town mayor gets involved, and Twin Rivers finds itself in the national spotlight. Small-town secrets take center stage in this tale of personal ambition and political intrigue. As with Saving Saddam, Montanamo is released by Artnik Books, a UK imprint specializing in pop culture books. Saving Saddam was their first fiction title, and they couldn't wait to bring Montanamo to press.

Chris Leibig is a trial lawyer with Zwerling, Leibig & Moseley, P.C. and has appeared on several recent talk shows and news programs sharing his insights into events such as the Times Square bomb incident. "Chris has three assets going for him: the breadth and depth of his legal knowledge and experience, his astute instincts as a storyteller, and a strong, distinct authorial voice," said editor Peter Gelfan. "Editing is fun and easy when you're working with someone as smart and talented as Chris."

Montanamo was released on May 1st and is available directly from Artnik Books and other online retailers. There is also a web site (montanamo.net) and a Facebook group dedicated to the book. We're thrilled Chris has found a home with Artnik. Here's to many more, Chris!
