Here’s the set-up:

“Caldwell’s strong and charismatic protagonist Jake Clearwater is the new Perry Mason, and I can’t wait to read the next entry in the series. Highly recommended!” — Eric Petersen, The Internet Review of Books

Jake Clearwater is a law professor and a former prosecutor who is urged by the Death Penalty Project to help stem the tide of wrongful death convictions in California. Clearwater agrees to represent Duane Durgeon, who had been convicted of a double murder. He is a huge, hulking, hard-boiled bad-ass, who, against the advice of his counsel demanded to address the jury during the sentencing phase of his trial. Getting his wish, he insults the judge, his lawyers, the prosecutors, and the jury in a profanity-laced rant that ends with him asking for the death penalty.

Despite Durgeon’s despicable persona and indifference to his fate, Clearwater convinces the reluctant man to appeal and wins a retrial where Clearwater is pitted against his former boss and bitter foe, prosecutor John Tice. What follows is a riveting tale of courtroom drama, suspense, and the exquisite workings of law and ultimately, justice.

“This book is a must-read for any fan of courtroom thrillers. There is no stone left unturned when Jake Clearwater takes on a case.” — San Francisco Book Review

“Caldwell has written a chilling legal thriller around the retrial of a convicted murderer facing the death penalty.” — Norm Goldman, Bookpleasures.com

Meet Cassie Gwynne: cat lover, bookworm, reluctant heiress… and accidental detective?

America, 1883. Cassie Gwynne is hoping for a fresh start when she steps off the steamship to meet her Aunt Flora, a famous perfumer, for the first time. Having recently lost her father, her aunt is the only family she has left so she wants to make a good impression. She’s styled her unruly hair, shined her boots, and even purchased a whole new fashionable wardrobe. However, she’s certain finding a body is not very ladylike behavior…

While out exploring the beautiful southern island town of Fernandina, Cassie stumbles across the body of Flora’s least-favorite neighbor, CaptainPeanut Runkles, lying at the foot of the harbor pilots’ lookout tower. To make matters worse, because of an ongoing feud between Peanut and Flora, including a very public clash over Flora’s pet pig and his fondness for Peanut’s vegetable patch, Flora is immediately accused of murder.

Cassie is certain her sweet aunt is innocent, and vows to prove it, to save her from a most unjust fate. It doesn’t take her long to realize the island is full of people who had reason to want Peanut dead, including a sniveling salesman and a bankrupt businessman who owed Peanut money. Soon, Cassie’s brilliant mind and nose for a clue lead her back to the scene of the crime and the mysterious colored glass found by the body… but what does it all mean?

Then an intruder at Flora’s shop throws Cassie off course. It seems sabotage is afoot, and the culprit is striking ever closer to home… Can Cassie get to the bottom of the case before her time on the island comes to a deadly end?

This warm and witty cozy mystery will introduce you to a feisty heroine far ahead of her time! Perfect for fans of Verity Bright, T E Kinsey and Deanna Raybourn.

A trail of secrets. A dangerous discovery. A deadly turn.

Police officer Sebastian Clifford never planned on becoming a private investigator. But when a scandal leads to the disbandment of his London based special squad, he finds himself out of a job. That is, until his cousin calls on him to investigate her husband’s high-profile death, and prove that it wasn’t a suicide.

But with time running out, Clifford is out of options. Together they must wade through the web of lies in the hope that they’ll find the truth before it kills them.
