About the book

The Crime

A courtroom puzzle in which two people confess to the same murder and a defense attorney has to work out why. Death-penalty stakes and trial-room misdirection in a twist-driven legal thriller.

Two Confessions. One Murder. One Verdict Nobody Can Predict.

As Thaddeus works the twisted evidence, the trial takes a turn no one in the courtroom sees coming.

But the case is far from over. Soon Thaddeus is back in court, this time defending in a death-penalty trial. With the police and District Attorney convinced they already have the right suspect, he'll need every skill he owns to make a tough jury look again at what really happened that night.

The Crime is a Thaddeus Murfee legal thriller, for readers who love double-confession puzzles, death-penalty trials and verdicts that turn on one detail. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Scott Turow and William Landay.
