Thriller Legal
Murder is like real
estate, and when Benny Batiste's head winds up on a
Georgetown parking
meter, defense attorney Stuart Clay finds that the
location-location-location puts the District of Columbia in
an uproar.
Police detain Cleveland Barnes wearing a green army raincoat, a
battered top hat, and bloodied Bally loafers. As Benny had been
discovered both headless and shoeless, Cleveland is charged
with murder
and Stuart is appointed to represent him. Stuart thinks
Cleveland is a
hapless street person who filched some shoes, but nothing more.
Homicide Detective Rhondo Touhey insists that Stuart is dead
wrong and
warns him that "some mocking birds are guilty as sin and
deserve what
they get." Stuart's pursuit of witnesses and clues takes the
reader on
a tour de force of the D.C. criminal justice system and
connects a band
of homeless living under Georgetown's Key Bridge, the Bronx
mob, the
urban renaissance of Washington, D.C., and a malignant evil that
fingers Stuart to be its next prey.
