Prejudicial Error

John Phillip Solomon, former chief trial deputy of the L.A. district attorney’s office finds a second home at Swanson’s Bar and Grille. 

Since his resignation from the D.A’s office, he’d done his best with small-time criminal cases. 

So, finding a place to drown his sorrows seemed appropriate. 

Lead dancer, Sally Sutton, kept the Mustang Club ahead of its competition. Fully packed until the lights went out, the Mustang Club was popular amongst business men and general party-animals. 

But ‘Mustang Sally’ hadn’t always lived her life in the limelight. 

Coming from a small Nebraska farm, her career aspirations had taken her along several small-time roles, before she was noticed. 

Sally was tight with some of the local police. Particularly Jim Rowinski, a SWAT team specialist who was gearing himself to becoming a homicide detective. Hot-headed and rash, he would do anything to get his way. 

When Joe Richards, a fifteen-year veteran is shot dead outside the Mustang Club, in Sally’s presence, Juan Javahn Thomas, notorious for his gang-banging lifestyle, is arrested. 

Homicide Lieutenant Tom Gallagher, Rowinski and Mary Delgado, the only female member of the arrest team, are present at the time of the arrest. 

To Solomon’s surprise, Judge Burton Lawler and D.A. Simon Lasker appoint him as the public defender in the case of Richards’s murder. Worse still, he was to go up against the prosecutor, Howard Ainsworth, the man who had taken his place as chief deputy, his arch-nemesis! 

In a bid to redeem himself, Solomon takes on the case. Ignoring all the insecurities that engulf him, he launches himself into the electrifying thrill of the courtroom. 

Working with his ally, Jimmy Johnson and going up against his former lover, Mary, Solomon’s task is taken up a notch. 

In the courtroom, as the trial unfolds, Solomon races against his opponent. 

Determination driving him, the details that unfold point to Sally knowing more than she originally let on. 

Bringing Sally back in under the heat of scrutiny, she breaks. It is all Solomon needs, yet the outcome is one no one was expecting…

Prejudicial Error is a legal thriller filled with suspense that will keep you gripped until the very end.
