12. The Key To Justice by Dennis Carstens

Mon Mar 25, 2024, 01:33 AM

Mar 25

first in a lawyer/mystery series

THE CASE OF A LIFETIME WALKS IN THE DOOR...
Financially embarrassed, getting a divorce, living in a shabby apartment, and distinctly short of clients, Marc Kadella’s beginning to question why he ever went into the law when a friend brings him the case all Minneapolis is watching—defending an accused serial killer. If he wins, it could turn his life around—if he blows it, he better go into sales.
The story is full of twists and the ending is a surprise.

Currently I am reading the second book Desperate Justice
