Snap Judgment

Has a judge turned executioner? A twisting mystery thriller by the author of Deadly Grief. Nobody was happy when a mistake by the DA’s office allowed Gilbert Russell to walk free—aside from the alleged child killer himself. Even the judge, in his frustration, expressed a wish to see the obviously guilty defendant hanged. But when the accused predator is found swinging from a rope near the courthouse, all eyes turn to the judge. Now Connor Phelan is tasked with defending his powerful mentor, Judge Hardy, but newly discovered DNA evidence is making his case a lot harder. His only hope for a win in the courtroom is finding the real murderer—which won’t be easy when no one in town is mourning the victim and no one is willing to speak the truth . . .Acclaim for Richard T. Cahill Jr.’s Deadly Grief “A fast read. . . .
