In “To Save the Nation” Attorney N. David Winkler takes on the challenge of a lifetime.
His client: A gorgeous Latina, Maria Theresa Romero, whose mother died and left a letter revealing a series of shocking family secrets:
First, she wasn’t her real mother. Maria Theresa was taken at birth from her real mother, who was tortured and murdered for her political views by the right-wing military regime during Argentina’s “Dirty War” of the 1970s. Next, the man she always knew as her father was really former Argentine military, the murderer of her biological mother. Finally, her real father was an Argentine banker, who allegedly died in the crash of private jet. Immediately after the crash his banking empire collapsed; millions of dollars were missing. But did he really die in the crash?
The lawyer’s mission: To either confirm that the banker died in the crash, or to find him. He has little time, as others join the race to find the banker and the missing fortune.
His nemesis: A former Colonel from the Argentine regime, who is about to join the high ranks of U.S. Homeland Security, to do in this country what he did in Argentina, “to save the nation.”
Could it really happen here?

To Save the Nation is his long-awaited first novel. It was inspired by actual events which occurred in the 1970s while Kass was a young attorney practicing in an international law firm in Brussels, Belgium.
His initial motivation in writing this book was to raise public awareness of the disappearance of tens of thousands of people which took place in Argentina in the 1970s, so that they would not be forgotten.
