The boy is now seventeen, acting-out, and suddenly arrested for first-degree murder. A serious question arises as to the boy's guilt. The priest asks Michael to take his son into his home so he can be released on bail. Michael and his wife agree and the boy, with his snake and mice, moves in.<br /> <br /> <strong>One young client who looks more guilty with each new death...</strong><br /> The new houseguest gets questioned by the police for yet a second murder. Michael Gresham and his wife become uneasy and, when the young man begins acting out, they finally move him out. The snake and mice move out with him. What follows is the story of a trial for first degree murder. All pertinent witnesses take the stand and are questioned in this book. The tension mounts. A verdict is rendered by the jury, but the crime doesn't end there. Now it becomes personal to Michael and Danny.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"When I started this book I wasn't prepared for the unexpected twists this book takes. I love John Ellsworth books especially the Thaddeus Murphy series, so I finished that series and started in on Michael Gresham books. They are grittier and a little more violent but very believable and I love the trial work and the great explanations about court procedure. I can't wait to get the next Michael Gresham book!"</p><p> </p><p>"When you are looking for writing excellence you cannot go wrong with John Ellsworth! This book is no exception, it is maybe more shocking than those I have read before, but the story is good and believable, with well drawn characters. The shock element is dealt with sensitively which reduces the impact fortunately, but the twists are clever and unexpected, keeping this story fresh in the reader's mind long after the book closes!"</p><p> </p><p>"Once again, John Ellsworth has written a winner. I have read all of his books and they have all been very good. This one is a little darker but the story line is very compelling and the characters are well developed, as they are in all of his novels. I hope he keeps writing because I will keep buying. I look forward to the next MG book just as I did the TM and Sisters books. Another book with Christine would go well about now. Thanks for the reading enjoyment. I am a big fan."</p><p> </p><br>
