Book Description:
"A thoroughly entertaining page-turner."
--Phillip Margolin
Leeman Hayes, a black teenager in Tulsa, is accused of brutally murdering a young woman. As attorney Ben Kincaid struggles to pull together a defense, a young boy is falling into the clutches of a child molester. Ten-year-old Abie Rutherford, lonely and desperate for approval, thinks the handsome, smiling stranger in the baseball cap might be that friend he has longed for.
When Abie Rutherford vanishes without a trace one hot summer day, Ben Kincaid, like everyone else in Tulsa, fears the worst. Then a bone-chilling discovery compels Ben to forge a link between the missing boy and the seemingly hopeless case of Leeman Hayes--thereby igniting the fuse for the most explosive courtroom case of Ben's career.
"An enthralling murder mystery . . . The ending is both surprising and explosive."
--The Sunday Oklahoman

Sally G. (Lots of plot puzzles as attorney Ben Kincaid takes on the case of Leeman Hayes who has been accused of viciously murdering a young woman at a golf club. There's one major problem - Leeman is mentally handicapped but since the D.A. says he can tell right from wrong, he's capable of making a decision to kill. Ben doesn't think it's that easy and takes on the case free just to see justice done. There are several subplots that don't seem to fit into the overall story but Bernhardt does have them fitting masterfully. The main character, attorney Ben Kincaid is a charming character whose sense of humor lightens the subject matter and had me chuckling throughout the book. A very good read!
Definitely a new favorite author of mine. Currently searching for some of his other books. Great character to follow! A recommended read for sure!
