Habeas Corpus Delicti

De: E.B. Harding

Narrado por: Myriam Berger

In the shadowy corridors of justice, where power and privilege collide, defense attorney James Stratton reigns supreme. Known for his razor-sharp intellect and unyielding determination, James has made a name defending the indefensible—criminals who walk free on technicalities and legal maneuvering. But when a series of gruesome murders begin targeting defense attorneys, his mastery of the system becomes his greatest liability.

Each victim is discovered in a church, their body posed beneath the Scales of Justice and a note pinned to their chest declaring: “Verdict: Guilty.” For James, it’s business as usual—until he receives a cryptic letter: “Your verdict is coming.” At first dismissing it as a crank’s threat, James’s confidence begins to falter as the body count rises, and a chilling pattern emerges.

As he delves deeper into the mystery, James is forced to confront his own past, particularly a high-profile case where justice may have been traded for a courtroom victory. With the help of Sarah Blake, his morally conflicted associate, and a weary detective who doubts James’s innocence, the trio unravels a web of vengeance rooted in betrayal and loss.

The killer’s obsession with justice reveals a dangerous paradox: is this a crusade against corruption, or the work of a deranged mind exacting revenge? As the killer closes in, James must confront the harsh truths about his career, his choices, and the lives left shattered in his wake.

Habeas Corpus Delicti is a gripping thriller that explores the fragile line between justice and vengeance, forcing listeners to question the true cost of defending the guilty—and whether redemption is ever truly possible.
