Small Town Verdict
(2027)(The fourth book in the Spencer Dunn series)
A novel by Mike Avery and Peter Kirkland
A convicted killer is granted a new trial.
Small-town defense attorney Spencer Dunn thought the case was over. His client—a local lawyer convicted of beating his wife to death—looked guilty in every possible way: a troubled marriage, a furious argument, a missing weapon, and even a son who testified against his own father. The jury agreed: guilty.
Then a new witness comes forward.
Spencer jumps at the chance to win his client a new trial. But justice is never that simple. Now the real killer is angling for a plea deal, claiming the defendant hired him to commit this heinous crime.
Spencer must dismantle a web of manipulation, buried evidence, and courtroom misdirection to prove his client has been framed. With a newborn at home, a restless PI eager to prove himself, and a prosecutor who smells blood in the water, Spencer's commitment to justice is pushed to its limits.
He knows the truth is out there. But finding it means outsmarting a killer who has already beaten the system once. Spencer will do whatever it takes to win his client’s freedom, no matter the consequences. Yet his past has taught him one important lesson:
Sometimes victory and justice aren’t the same thing…
Genre: Thriller
