"To Account for Murder: a legal thriller"
by William C. Whitbeck
The murder of Michigan State Senator Warren G. Hooper in 1945, brought to light corruption in Lansing. During Prohibition money flowed freely to state and local politicians. They were paid to allow groups like the Purple Gand to stay in business. Now in 1996, Charlie Cahill tell his part in the events of the time. Charlie returned from the war without his left arm. He is looking for a job as an attorney. Being a war hero gets Charlie hired by politicians fighting corruption. Charlie has a personal connection to the murdered Senator. Will Charlie be able to keep secret what he knows about the Senator's death? Naturally there is a beautiful, rich woman in the story. Whitbeck makes the time come alive.
Whitbeck is Chief Judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals. He hopes to emulate the success of "The Anatomy of a Murder" by Michigan Supreme Court Justice John D. Voelker.
