This is an excellent courtroom drama by an author I have not previously encountered. Portland Defense Attorney Joseph Antonelli feels no grief over the murder of his career-long enemy, Judge Calvin Jeffries. In fact, few people miss him and his evil manipulation of the laws as well as his vindictive use of others. A call to the police results in the arrest of a homeless man, who then commits suicide in his cell. Case closed . . . until a second judge is murdered in the same way. Again a tip results in the arrest of another homeless man. Antonelli defends the accused, and discovers a conspiracy of malevolence that extends over decades. I’m going to be reading as many other books by Buffa as I can find.
