Suspense | Mystery
John Brooks is a brilliant young lawyer working hard, but
not getting much notice. Those who know him admire his work
ethic and his intellect. His friends believe that he needs
one big case to show off his talents. Defending Hal Boyd,
known as the Butcher of Belhaven, on arson and four murder
charges, looks like that big case as the world media, hungry
to fill 24 hours a day of non-stop news coverage, converges
on Jackson, Mississippi. Soon the Boyd case looks like a career ender when Brooks
announces to his defense: “Not guilty by reason of insanity.
My client was so insane that he believed that the person he
intended to kill was a vampire.” The world media ridicules
the “Vampire Defense,” and Brooks and his defense team
become the laughing stock of the legal profession. Ridicule becomes the least of Brooks problems when he
discovers that a satanic cult is intent on exacting
murderous revenge against Boyd for killing one of their
leaders and against his defense team for daring to defend
him. Kidnapping and multiple murders occur at a dizzy pace
as the action careens from the city to the swamp to the
courtroom. Romance coupled with comic relief allows you to occasionally
catch your breath, until even that is stolen by a double
climax with a verdict that shocks the world, followed
immediately by a dramatic final battle between good and
evil. The Vampire Defense is so bloody you can taste it.
