Every Verdict Has a Victim.
James Stratton has built a career defending the people no one else will.
Brilliant, relentless, and undefeated in the courtroom, he believes the law is simple: everyone deserves a defense. Justice isn't his responsibility. Winning is.
Then someone begins murdering defense attorneys.
Each victim is abducted, executed, and left inside a church with a parchment nailed to their chest.
Verdict: Guilty.
As the body count rises, James receives a chilling message of his own:
Your verdict is coming.
Forced into an uneasy alliance with Detective Mark Harris and challenged by his idealistic associate Sarah Blake, James must unravel the identity of a killer who believes the legal system has become a shield for the guilty.
But this isn't a random campaign of terror.
It's personal.
Every victim was chosen for a reason.
Every church tells part of the story.
And buried in James's own past is a courtroom victory that destroyed a family, launched his career-and created a man willing to become judge, jury, and executioner.
As the killer closes in, James must confront the question he has spent a lifetime avoiding:
When does defending the law become betraying justice?
Habeas Corpus Delicti is a gripping legal thriller filled with psychological suspense, moral ambiguity, unforgettable characters, and relentless tension that will keep readers turning pages until its devastating final verdict.
