Publisher's Summary

No one had a more brilliant legal career than Judge Calvin Jeffries. And no one cared less about the law and more about power. That is, until Jeffries is found murdered in a courthouse parking lot. The crime shocks the community, but justice is swift. Jeffries's killer is caught, confesses, and then unexpectedly commits suicide in his jail cell. The case is closed.

Soon a second judge is stabbed to death under identical circumstances. And like the Jeffries murder, the killing appears to be an open-and-shut case, and a copycat crime as well.

Yet there's one attorney who knows both sides of Judge Calvin Jeffries too well to believe the murders were simply random acts of violence. Attorney Joseph Antonelli agrees to defend the accused. What he discovers challenges everything he knows about crime and punishment...and himself. He uncovers a twisted trail of retribution and obsession that leads to the real killer - and a plan even more chillingly flawless than the mythical "perfect crime."

One of the Best Legal Thrillers written

D.W. Buffa has crafted one of the best legal thrillers that has three-dimensional complex and interesting characters, a well woven plot full of twists and, story-weaving that leaves many satisfying 'ah-ha' moments as the story unfolds. It is a story you finish with mixed emotions of satisfaction and post-partum melancholy at leaving the characters as the cover closes. Highly recommended story and author.
