Publisher Description
A lawyer ready to die takes one final case...the trial of his life.
Attorney Kent "Mac" MacClain has nothing left to live for. Nine years after the horrific accident that claimed the life of his wife and two sons, he's finally given up. His empty house is a mirror for his empty soul, it seems suicide is his only escape. And then the phone rings.
Angela Hightower, the beautiful heiress and daughter of the most powerful man in Dennison Springs, has been found dead at the bottom of a ravine. The accused killer, Peter Thomason, needs a lawyer. But Mac has come up against the Hightowers and their ruthless, high-powered lawyers before -- an encounter that left his practice and reputation reeling.
The evidence pointing to Thoomason's guilt seems insurmountable. Is Mac definding an ingenious psychopath, or has Thomason been framed--possibly by a member of the victim's family? It comes down to one last trial. For Thomason, the opponent is the electric chair. For Mac, it is his own tormented past--a foe that will prove every bit as deadly.

"I really liked this book, especially as an audiobook. It had a good balance of exciting passages with more thoughtful parts as well. It is a Christian book but it was not preachy or overwhelming in its sentiments. I think I would enjoy reading other books by this author."

" This was the first Robert Whitlow novel that I've read. I enjoyed the book but felt it was too religious for me. I thought it was clasified under "adult fiction" but I would clasify it as "adult inspirational fiction". Don't feel its my type of book to read. "

— Erin, 11/13/2011 -
" I enjoyed this book a lot. It isn't great but I liked the story. Too much evidence turned up after the trial to make it really believable. The jury made a startling decision but we really didn't know the reason for. But I still enjoyed the story. "
