Capitol Offense
by William Bernhardt
At the beginning of this series, Ben Kincaid was an idealistic lawyer. Now in this seventeenth outing, Ben is the appointed United States Senator from Oklahoma. During a recess, Ben is back home in Tulsa. Dennis Thomas comes to his office to ask for a pardon for a murder that has not taken place. The possible victim is Detective Sentz, who refused to help Dennis find his missing wife. She is found critically injured and dies just just after her rescue. The next day Detective Sentz is found murdered with Dennis unconscious in the same room. Ben defends Dennis with a temporary insanity defense. Dennis is found guilty at the end of an action packed trial. But police investigators link the woman's death to a smuggling plot with police involvement. Was her death really a murder? Was the murdered policeman involved? Will Ben be able to save Dennis from the death penalty?
If you liked the John Grisham's novels try this legal series.
