    About this ebook

    1973, Phoenix, Arizona. A beautiful woman with a gun enters a house with her twelve-year-old daughter. When they leave, the man inside is dead.

    Though the only witness to the fatal shooting is in a catatonic state and unable to testify, the police, the attorney general's office, and the media have already declared the woman guilty. But the best trial lawyer in Phoenix, Dan Morgan, has been hired to prove her innocent.

    For Morgan and his idealistic young protégé, Doug McKenzie, the goal is to win at any cost. But there are no easy answers, only shocks and mysteries, as the question of guilt versus innocence takes on a profound and disturbing new meaning.

      A man's wife and daughter walk into his house. Shots are fired. They leave. The man is seen to be dead. The daughter lapses into a catatonic state before she can give her version of events. The same defense attorney is hired to defend them both, the daughter's trial following the mother's acquital.I read all 428 pages of this book in one day. That was largely because I was waiting while a family member was having surgery, but I can also say that it's the only uncorrected proof which I got at this year's American Library Association annual conference which I am keeping.This is an uncorrected proof. The publication date for this book is October of 2007.

      One of the best courtroom dramas I've ever read.
    • 2/5
      I read this as a recommendation from friends. It never really got started for me. There was a lot of telling about this case and a period in the 1970s, but not a lot of conflict that I could care about.

      Doug McKenzie joins his law firm just to get a chance to work with one of the greats in questioning witnesses at a trial. Dan Morgan knows everyone in the legal area in Pheonix.One of the firm's clients, Ferris Eddington hires Dan when his daughter-in-law is arrested for killing his only son, Travis.Dan accepts and Doug assists. This is a benefit for Dan since, Doug's father and Eddington were friends and Doug almost grew up at the ranch.Rita and her 12 year old daughter, Miranda went into a ranch house, shots were fired and a ranch hand saw them leave with Rita holding the gun.Rita and Miranda are brought to jail and Maranda becomes catonic.The trial begins. The prosecutor is a sterertypical bungler, Maximilan Hauser who is cold hearted and out to make a name for himself.The preperation for the trial and the trial itself were dramatically done. With the murder taking place on a ranch and the trial in the west, it is reminiscent of "Lonesome Dove" where Blue Duck meets his end at the courtroom.The writing style is precise and in tune with the characters who are well drawn and likable. It is a story that will win your heart and then choke you. The author provides some excellent and totally unexpected plot twists and the courtroom drama is well done.

      This was a great first book for Gordon Campbell. It is full of twists and turns, but it stays totally believable. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a legal mystery.
    • 5/5
      While this book started off slow, it was a very clever legal drama about a young lawyer who walks off an amatuer golf championship to try a case with a lawyer he admires. The case seems open and shut. A woman and her daughter visit her husband, shots are fired and a witness watches mother and daughter emerge. There are some twists and although it was a long book it was worth the time
