Bill Blum's acclaimed legal thrillers are compiled here together for the first time.
THE FACE OF JUSTICE
When Defence Attorney David Nova's wife relocates to New York, he must fight tooth and nail for custody of their young daughter. In a drunken rage, he walks straight into a trap set by a vengeful former client - convicted murderer, Randy Sturgis - and finds himself in a nightmare predicament: framed for his ex-wife's murder. Can he piece the facts together before he becomes Sturgis' latest victim?
PREJUDICIAL ERROR
When Sally, lead dancer at Swanson's Bar & Grille, former chief deputy of the Los Angeles DA John Philip Solomon's favourite haunt, becomes embroiled in a murder case, he's surprised to be appointed as the public defender. Forced to go up against his replacement prosecutor, Howard Ainsworth - and his former lover, Mary - he races against time to squeeze the truth out of Sally.
THE LAST APPEAL
The final appeal to save convicted double murderer Harold Ashbourne from death row is deeply personal for lawyer Peter Harrigan. He lost his family in a horrible car accident during the first appeal five years ago, and Ashbourne remains his only link to them. When a surprise new witness materialises, he can't help his mixed emotions - especially as this person is a master of deception with Ashbourne's life in their hands.
