CAN A PROSECUTOR DEFEND A MURDERER?

Seattle homicide D.A. David Brunelle has spent his entire career prosecuting criminals. But when his girlfriend, medical examiner Kat Anderson, asks him to go to California to defend her ex-husband on a murder charge, he just can’t say no to her. Brunelle has to fight not only his prosecutorial instincts, but also a smooth-talking D.A., an unhelpful detective, and–worst of all–a client who won’t give him a straight answer. As the evidence piles up and the case unfolds, Brunelle waits for the other shoe to drop, but this time the shoe is on the other foot.

“Enidor clearly felt that something awful was happening to him, but he could do nothing about it. He had been toughened up by distant expeditions and the wielding of various weapons, which he had proven more than once in sea battles or skirmishes with pirates and slave traders. However, he could not fight the demonic forces from another world that lurked in the distant seas and about which he had heard in old sagas and legends. To fight the invisible creatures of the Underworld or the Mysterious Land, who could take on different shapes, one needed a weapon of the most powerful kind — a weapon that was not at all like a sword or an enchanted amulet. A weapon called Eithua.

No one really knew what Eithua was, but according to legends, many in the world knew how to use this weapon and could perform amazing miracles with it.”
