Indictment for Murder: A Mystery
St Martins Pr. 02/01/2000. 251 pgs. A suspenseful courtroom drama unravels the mystery behind the the death of 78-year-old British war hero, David Trelawney. On trial for his alleged murder is 77-year-old Jonathan Playfair, a Knight of the Realm, a former Judge of the High Court, and David's best friend. Through Jonathan's defense, readers get a descriptive, albeit one-sided, view of their 50-year friendship, beginning with their initial camaraderie while fighting against the Germans in North Africa and ending with their final meeting at David's sickbed, where shortly thereafter he was found dead. Highlighting Jonathan's flashbacks are asides from the bit players--the forlorn trial judge, the young prosecutor, and the high-powered defense lawyer--all of which add even more depth and complexity to this psychological whodunit.

The Whole Truth
Pocket Books. 05/01/2001. The first book in a new series introduces readers to Marie Lightfoot, a writer who has made her fortune by researching sensational murder trials and transforming them into best-sellers. Her latest project involves the trial of alleged kidnapper and murderer, Ray Raintree. Upon receiving a guilty verdict, Ray wreaks havoc in the courtroom, is shot by a frightened judge, and flees from the scene, igniting a suspenseful manhunt along Florida's Intercoastal highway. Marie, in the meantime, investigates the convict's life and finds that Ray might possibly be Johnny Kepler, who was abducted from his Kansas home 22 years ago and never found. According to a local deputy, young Johnny had an imaginary playmate he called Ray Raintree. As Marie digs deeper into Johnny/Ray's disturbing life, she soon finds herself sympathizing with this dangerous villain. Her struggles over this moral dilemma not only come between her relationship with black state attorney Franklin DeWeese, but they also throw a wrench in what was sure to be her next literary success.

As a true crime novel, you are aware of the outcome of a particularly heinous murder trial and the defendant who has just been found guilty. An outbreak in the courtroom, a shooting of the defendant by the judge and an unexpected jail break are the beginning of the unraveling tale of the story behind the story. How could Ray Raintree have no traceable past? Was it true he had no memory of his childhood? Why did he kill the young girl in such a brutal way and steal one of her organs?.
