Book excerpt: "Potts has captured the personal conflicts and shared commitment to the rule of law in a precedent-setting trial of a stone cold serial killer, revealing many insightful details I never knew existed. And it was my case!" - Pat Dingle, Homicide Detective, Ret. North Las Vegas Police Department In the late 1970s, a crime wave swept California. Several young girls were kidnapped, brutally raped, and murdered. Michael Dee Mattson, a drug addict with severe emotional problems, was convicted of these crimes and sentenced to be executed in California's gas chamber. James Potts, an aspiring young attorney still coming to terms with the rape of his own younger sister, is asked to find a way to get Mattson's conviction overturned. After making a discovery that could potentially set Mattson free to rape and kill again, Potts struggles with his own moral dilemma: Use this information to free Mattson or let him languish on death row.

Book excerpt: At first, Mark Prothero, Defense Attorney for Gary Ridgway, thought: "This can't be the Green River Killer! He's too ordinary! He's too small. He's too calm. He's too polite! He can't possibly have murdered forty-nine women. They can't be serious! They must have screwed up! I didn't realize then, but I was right. Gary Ridgway hadn't killed forty-nine women. He'd killed even more than that." Soon, Mark Prothero faced the question: "How could you possibly defend the most prolific serial killer in United States history, the infamous Green River Killer? If anyone deserved to be executed for his crimes, didn't he?" Mark Prothero, co-lead defense attorney who helped save Gary Ridgway from the death sentence, has heard that question many times. Now he’s written a book that reveals the true, inside story of exactly how an idealistic public defender, high school swim coach, husband, and dad could bring himself to spend many months of close confinement with a man who brutally murdered at least 75 young women, often in the act of sex. Defending Gary shows how Prothero could reconcile these monstrous acts knowing the reality of this unassuming fellow Gary Ridgway, a mild-mannered, church-going, devoted husband, father, and former Navy man, with an IQ of around 82 and a longtime job as a truck painter from Auburn, Washington, near Seattle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every lawyer wants to be a good lawyer. They want to do right by their clients, contribute to the professional community, become good colleagues, interact effectively with people of all persuasions, and choose the right cases. All of these skills and behaviors are important, but they spring from hard-to-identify foundational qualities necessary for good lawyering. After focusing for three years on getting high grades and sharpening analytical skills, far too many lawyers leave law school without a real sense of what it takes to be a good lawyer. In The Good Lawyer, Douglas O. Linder and Nancy Levit combine evidence from the latest social science research with numerous engaging accounts of top-notch attorneys at work to explain just what makes a good lawyer. They outline and analyze several crucial qualities: courage, empathy, integrity, diligence, realism, a strong sense of justice, clarity of purpose, and an ability to transcend emotionalism. Many qualities require apportionment in the right measure, and achieving the right balance is difficult. Lawyers need to know when to empathize and also when to detach; courage without an appreciation of consequences becomes recklessness; working too hard leads to exhaustion and mistakes. And what do you do in tricky situations, where the urge to deceive is high? How can you maintain focus through a mind-taxing (or mind-numbing) project? Every lawyer faces these problems at some point, but if properly recognized and approached, they can be overcome. It's not easy being good, but this engaging guide will serve as a handbook for any lawyer trying not only to figure out how to become a better--and, almost always, more fulfilled--lawyer.

Book excerpt: An hour north of Los Angeles, a gruesome discovery is made. Displayed in a very unusual manner is the body of a young promising assistant US attorney. Left next to her corpse is a cryptic note, "Find Des Cook, University of Georgia. He has the answers." Two thousand miles away, unassuming graduate student Desmond Cook receives an unexpected visit from the FBI. They pepper him with questions. Bewildered, he has no answers. Soon afterward, the killer contacts him with a task-figure out a series of historical riddles and get to the locations they designate. Failure to do so will result in more victims. Demanding to know why he is made the focus of such a game, the killer has just one response: "You have the answers. It's all in the presentation." Thus begins a deadly chase, as Des teams with FBI profiler Amanda Hertzel in a desperate attempt to solve the baffling clues and put a halt to the carnage. And in this race against time, as each layer of the mystery is peeled away, the killer's motivation becomes clearer, finally exposing a far more deadly conspiracy than they could have ever imagined.

This book was released on 2019-11-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connie Price is not the kind of woman who suffers fools--or injustice--lightly. When she noticed an old broken-down trailer in the woods behind her neighbor's house that was only visited late at night, she knew someone was up to no good. Myrtle Beach is notorious for attracting young runaways--especially underage girls--who come down for the ocean and sunshine and end up missing or dead. Between the missing girls and the abandoned trailer and its late-night traffic, Connie knew this could only spell trouble. So she set out to do something about it. What she found was the tip of the iceberg of corruption that runs deep in her little beachside city. What she didn't know is how much trouble this would cause her. When a chance encounter with the wrong doctor left Connie with third-degree burns from an illegal medical laser and a prolonged, near-fatal illness, no doctor in town would treat her, no lawyer in town would honestly represent her, and no court in Horry County would give her a fair trial. Her attempts to bring justice for the missing girls of Myrtle Beach had come back to haunt her. There was no way to know that hiring a new lawyer--Stephen Stanko--would bring its own set of troubles. He turned out to be nothing more than a con man, a psychopath who would tell any story to anyone to get what he wanted. When Connie, without knowing the true extent of Stanko's deception, gave him the proof of the cover-up and corruption that surrounded her malpractice suit, Stanko was ecstatic. He now had the ammunition necessary to blackmail nearly the entire town to cover for his own crimes. Stanko could get away with anything but murder. Before he could complete his nefarious plans, he snapped and murdered his girlfriend and attempted to murder her 15-year-old daughter, leaving her for dead. By the time Stanko was caught, he had also killed a kind old man who had helped him on several occasions, and possibly others. Just about the only person he didn't manage to kill was Connie Price.

Barri Flowers, including State’s Evidence, Persuasive Evidence, Justice Served, and Fractured Trust. State’s Evidence: A Beverly Mendoza Legal Thriller Assistant District Attorney Beverly Mendoza appears to have an open and shut case when she prosecutes Rafael Santiago for the murder of a judge and the sexual assault of his wife in Eagles Landing, a town in Northern California. Santiago was recently released from prison and had a grudge against the judge. But her case against the suspect is put in jeopardy when career criminal Manuel Gonzalez, arrested for the murder of a young woman, also confesses to killing the judge. As Beverly and Wilameta County Sheriff's Homicide Detective Stone Palmer try to sort out fact from fiction, a case of mistaken identity becomes a real possibility. Or is it more likely that two violent men with close ties are trying to beat the system? Persuasive Evidence: A Jordan La Fontaine Legal Thriller It is five years before the millennium and Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney Jordan La Fontaine is in line to be the next Chief of the Homicide Division Bureau. But Jordan’s world turns upside down when her teenage son is accused of a double homicide and her competition for the post, Jerrod Wresler, is assigned to prosecute the case. At the same time, Jordan is preparing to try a decorated Portland police detective, Graham Turner, accused of viciously murdering his ex-wife. Causing Jordan further grief is Turner’s hardnosed partner, Detective Harry Coleman, who will stop at nothing to prove his innocence. As Jordan moves back and forth between the two tough cases and deals with issues in her personal life, she must use all her resources to clear her son’s name and convict a cop of murder. Justice Served: A Barkley and Parker Thriller In Portland, Oregon, male spouse abusers are being beaten to death by a bat-wielding female vigilante, dubbed by the press, The Vigilante Batterer Killer. Each victim had recently been on trial for domestic violence-related charges, but was set free through plea bargains, technicalities, or acquittal. Two Portland Police Bureau Detectives--Sergeant Ray Barkley and his partner Detective Nina Parker--investigate the killings. Among the list of suspects is Criminal Court Judge Carole Cranston, who presided over the trials of all the victims and has dark secrets she is in no hurry to share. As the body count grows and the suspects narrow, Barkley finds himself being targeted and may be powerless to prevent from becoming the victim of a relentless killer. Fractured Trust: A Renee Steele Legal Mystery It is 1982, and assistant prosecuting attorney Renee Steele works for the Sex Crimes Unit of the Akers County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office in Sparrow’s Crossing, Michigan. In her latest case, Renee prosecutes wealthy businessman Kurt Bochner, who is accused of raping a young woman during a date. The case hits close to home for Renee, who was the victim of date rape thirteen years earlier while in law school. She is pitted in court against a formidable opponent, defense attorney Deana Krane, who has never lost a case and is determined to win an acquittal for her client Kurt Bochner. In Fractured Trust, date rape and prostitution are put under the microscope. The results are anything but certain, and there is a stunning climax.
