David O Stewart



David O. Stewart turned to writing after more than a quarter century of law practice in Washington, D.C., defending accused criminals and challenging government actions as unconstitutional.

In September 2013, Stewart will begin a new chapter in his writing life with the release of an historical novel exploring the John Wilkes Booth conspiracy. A short story of his was previously nominated for the Pushcart Prize. He also is working a non-fiction examination of James Madison and the remarkably influential partnerships he formed in his life.



Stewart lives with his wife in Maryland.

The Silver Bone (2024)
(Kyiv Mystery, book 1)
Andrey Kurkov
"In the tradition of Philip Kerr's Bernie Gunther ... Kurkov sets crime-solving against the chaos of a turbulent era -- for his Samson Kolechko, the upheaval of Ukraine in 1919, when Cossacks, the Red Army and their White opponents, and even Chinese Communists battled in streets of a Kiev darkened by power failure ... [The Silver Bone] poses haunting moral questions about defending order in perilous days, questions that reverberate a century later in Ukraine and around the world."

False Light (2021)
Eric Dezenhall
"In False Light, Eric Dezenhall combines a wickedly funny take on the demise of journalism and the fragility of reputation in the Internet era, with a clear-eyed view of the complex costs of sexual predation, despite the best efforts of the metoo movement. A grown-up fantasy for our troubled times."
