The Court appoints attorney Peter Sharp to defend a man accused of capital murder, but there are just a few things that might make this defense a little more difficult than others, because the client's crime was captured on security cameras, he freely confessed to the crime, he wants to plead guilty at his arraignment, and he refuses to talk to Peter Sharp, the attorney whose appointment he agreed to...but aside from those minor problems, it's just another criminal defense case where Sharp must avoid being humiliated in court by his ex-wife....

In the three decades since April 4, 1968, when Martin Luther King, Jr., was shot to death in Memphis, scores of books and articles have questioned whether James Earl Ray, King's killer, acted alone or was part of a larger conspiracy. Now, based on explosive new interviews, confidential files, and previously undisclosed evidence, best-selling author Gerald Posner finally resolves the simple truth of the last great political murder mystery of the 1960s, definitively proving that Ray acted alone.

One night, in a small North Carolina town, a down-on-his-luck guard at Loomis Fargo manages to steal $17 million - literally more than one ton of cash. Despite being caught on camera wheeling the money from the vault to the getaway van, David Ghantt makes off to Mexico before the FBI can blink. There's just one hitch: Ghantt has entrusted the money to an oddball crew of accomplices who had wooed him into committing this massive theft in the first place - and who, he soon learns, are trying to take him out.

Publisher's Summary
In this 11th adventure of the 20 Peter Sharp and Suzi B. mysteries, due to a conflict of interest between the county and the defendant, attorney Peter Sharp is asked by the district attorney's office to step in and act as special prosecutor in a criminal case of first degree murder.
This case is unique for two reasons. First, attorney Sharp is usually a criminal defense attorney, with no experience as a prosecutor, and is only accepting this assignment as a favor to his ex-wife, who is the elected district attorney of the county.
Second, Sharp is informed that the DA's office is having some problems with the case because they have not been able to establish a motive for the killing, or how the brutal act was accomplished...and if that wasn't enough, the defendant seems to have an iron-clad alibi that the investigators have been unable to break.
On top of all the above difficulties with this case, Peter Sharp learns that notwithstanding all the weaknesses of the case, the district attorney has a strong "feeling" that this guy is guilty, so she went ahead and took the case before a grand jury - and obtained an indictment of the defendant.
After Peter is talked into accepting the appointment as special prosecutor, he is then informed that pursuant to the indictment, the defendant was arrested that evening and will be brought into court for arraignment the next morning - leaving absolutely no time for preparation.
There is only one way that Peter Sharp will be able to have any chance to succeed with this seemingly impossible case, and that is to figure out what the defendant's motive might have been, break through his iron-clad alibi, and also show how the crime was committed in a part of town that the defendant had no possible way of reaching, for lack of transportation.
Other than that, the case is a slam dunk...unless Peter's 13-year-old genius legal ward Suzi can figure out a way to win this case, and break down a really good alibi.

Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense pro who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, to defend clients at the bottom of the legal food chain. It's no wonder that he is despised by cops, prosecutors, and even some of his own clients. But an investigator is murdered for getting too close to the truth and Haller quickly discovers that his search for innocence has taken him face to face with a kind of evil as pure as a flame.

One night, in a small North Carolina town, a down-on-his-luck guard at Loomis Fargo manages to steal $17 million - literally more than one ton of cash. Despite being caught on camera wheeling the money from the vault to the getaway van, David Ghantt makes off to Mexico before the FBI can blink. There's just one hitch: Ghantt has entrusted the money to an oddball crew of accomplices who had wooed him into committing this massive theft in the first place - and who, he soon learns, are trying to take him out.

Painting a vivid picture of murder, courtroom drama, family loyalties and disloyalties, journalist Jeff Coen accurately portrays the Chicago Outfit's cold-blooded killers.

On a bitterly cold afternoon in December 1986, a Michigan State trooper found the frozen body of Jerry Tobias in the bed of his pickup truck. The 31-year-old oil field worker and small-time drug dealer was clad only in jeans, a checkered shirt, and cowboy boots. Inside the cab of the truck was a fresh package of expensive steaks from a local butcher shop, the first lead in a case that would be quickly lost in a thicket of bungled forensics, shady prosecution, and a psychopathic star witness out for revenge.
