Hung Jury

About the Book

The peace and quiet of a small community are shattered by the brutal rape and murder of two socialite women. Shock and fear soon turn to relief with the arrest of a recently released convict.

Rand Stannard, the young lawyer assigned to try the case, falls in love with the pretty female detective who helps to solve the crime. In spite of himself, Stannard comes to believe in his client’s innocence and stages a brilliant defense that results in a surprise, and bloody, ending.
