Calvin
Samuels is a public defender with a passion for sticking
by the underdog. His clients are desperate men and women
with desperate cases. Like John Rogers. Although Samuels
saved him from a life behind bars, he couldn’t save
his life. Within months of his acquittal, Rogers’ body
is fished from the Ohio River, two bullet holes in the back
of his head. Police speculate his death was the result of
a drug deal gone bad.
Believing
he failed a friend who depended on him, Samuels seeks redemption
in the representation of Mark Alexander,
accused of the brutal murder of two drug dealers. Needing
to believe in his client’s innocence, however, Samuels
is blind to clues that Alexander is not what, or who, he seems.
Until he meets Allison Morris, Alexander’s former lover
and the prosecution’s most damning witness. Could Alexander
actually be Rogers’ murderer?
But when the trial
finally reaches its stunning conclusion, Samuels’ descent into
the maelstrom has only just begun.
Reviews
"Scott Kauffman has written an exciting
legal thriller in which the public defender uses his own time
and money to track down witnesses and learn the truth; Calvin
goes the extra mile for his clients. The two prime cases (that
of Rogers and Alexander) that make up the storyline are fast-paced
and a thrill to follow, as Calvin’s idealism and work
ethic push him to be all that he can be and more. Readers
will appreciate this dedicated defense attorney and feel for
him when he begins to have doubts about Alexander’s
innocence."

"This was
a very suspenseful, intense novel written by an attorney.
Most of his characters are fully formed, and
the reader gets to know them and each of their personal demons
quite well. Kauffman did a very good job of letting each of
his characters be human and carry human flaws while making
a solid line between the good guys and the bad guys, and those
in between. The suspense builds throughout this novel until
it reaches an ending that no one can see coming. I can't wait
to see what this author does next."
~ Inez Daylong, Affaire de Coeur
