Bestselling “A Case For” Author Lee Strobel Writes Gritty Thriller
Grand Rapids, Mich., February 18, 2011 — Many know New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel for his nonfiction “A Case For” series. Now Lee combines his experiences as an investigative reporter and pastor to create his debut novel, The Ambition (Zondervan, May 2011). Edgy characters populate this taut thriller, set in a gleaming suburban megachurch, a big-city newspaper struggling for survival, and the shadowy corridors of politics.
“The Ambition is inspired by real-life stories that I covered at the Chicago Tribune,” said Strobel, former award-winning legal editor of the daily. “I had an amazing story churning inside of me that I really wanted to get on paper. But the plot of the book is merely a fanciful excursion into the intriguing world of ‘what if.’”
