In Phillip Margolin's Murder at Black Oaks, Attorney
Robin Lockwood finds herself at an isolated retreat in the
Oregon mountains, one with a tragic past and a legendary
curse, and surrounded by many suspects and confronted with
an impossible crime.
Defense Attorney Robin
Lockwood is summoned by retired District Attorney Francis
Melville to meet with him at Black Oaks, the manor he owns
up in the Oregon mountains. The manor has an interesting
history - originally built in 1628 in England, there's a
murderous legend and curse attached to the mansion.
Melville, however, wants Lockwood's help in a legal matter -
righting a wrongful conviction from his days as a DA. A
young man, Jose Alvarez, was convicted of murdering his
girlfriend only for Melville, years later when in private
practice, to have a client of his admit to the murder and to
framing the man Melville convicted. Unable to reveal what he
knew due to attorney client confidence, Melville now wants
Lockwood's help in getting that conviction overturned.
Successful in their efforts, Melville invites Lockwood
up to Black Oaks for a celebration. Lockwood finds herself
among an odd group of invitees - including the bitter, newly
released, Alvarez. When Melville is found murdered, with a
knife connected to the original curse, Lockwood finds
herself faced with a conundrum - who is the murder among
them and how to stop them before there's another victim.
