Brief book descrition:
Murder and mayhem are the favorites at this year's member-member tournament. Ken Edwards legal career was going nowhere fast. Then murder steps up to the tee at Lake Pointe. Edwards has the defense of the "Country Clubber". But his dream case is rapidly becoming a nightmare.
Amanda Armbruster was the darling of the country club set. Long, lithe, and lovely, she was the queen of many hearts. Her brutal murder ignites a firestorm of public passion. Even before a jury can be selected, a lynch mob is forming for Amanda's husband, Ted. If his lawyer has to wear the same neck tie---- Well you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
Every rock Edwards turns over in building a defense hides something dark,slimy, and full of teeth. Money, power, and prestige are threatened and threatening in return. The high and mighty will stop at nothing to keep their secrets hidden. On the golf course, over the poker table, and in the halls of justice everybody is trying to improve their lie.
Presiding at the trial sits Judge Alexandra Kingsdale. Years earlier she tossed Edwards aside. Yet, she treats him if it were his doing. He can expect no help from the bench.
As the evidence mounts before a packed court room time is running out on the defense. Unless Edwards can decode Amanda's final enigma: The cats went to the dogs." he and his client will be thrown to the wolves. A lifetime 18 handicapper, Edwards will have to be a scratch lawyer if his client is to have any chance.
Hope you'll give a fledgling author a look.
