Description
William J Coughlin’s best-selling Charley Sloan thriller series is
finally brought together in this must-read, action-packed collection.
SHADOW OF A DOUBT
Charley Sloan thought it was all behind him — his career, his wives, his drink problem.
The colourful life he had once lived seemed a vague memory; he was now a regular at local AA meetings and was scraping by with work.
Life was lonely without booze, but it was stable. That is, until the arrival of an expensive looking client in his shabby lawyer’s office…
Robin Harwell — a sweetheart from High School with a favour to ask, and $20,000 to pay for it.
Defend her step-daughter? No easy task when the charge is murder, the victim her husband and the defendant has already confessed …
Why has she chosen Charley and, more importantly, what is she hiding?
Family feuds, secret sexualities and missing records add to the pressure Charley is under — this is the one chance he has to restore his name but he knows he has to take a risk and fight dirty if he wants to win….
DEATH PENALTY
Detroit lawyer Charley Sloan has been around the block once or twice.
Down for the count, drinking heavily, a three-time loser in the marriage wars, Charley has painstakingly repaired his tattered career, joined Alcoholics Anonymous and clawed his way back in the game.
But now Charley steps into a case with the opportunity to do some good.
The high stakes include a literal matter of life and death, defending a seriously injured man against a huge corporation.
Winning the case would mean that Charley would also help save his old friend and colleague, Mickey Monk, from financial ruin.
But, as Charley quickly discovers, he has unwittingly become embroiled in the sinister stench of corruption that reaches to the highest level — including Charley Sloan’s respected mentor.
Is there anyone left that Charley can trust…?
THE JUDGEMENT
As winter descends upon Detroit, ace lawyer Charley Sloan is drawn into a case that involves the bizarre murders of small children.
Someone is killing them, bathing their bodies and washing their clothes.
They are wrapping them in plastic, and placing them in the new-fallen snow.
Laid out like little angels, peacefully asleep.
The serial murders seem unsolvable, for the killer is elusive and very clever.
Meanwhile, Detroit’s powerful police chief, Mark Conroy, asks Charley to defend him against charges that he stole millions from the department’s secret cash fund – a fund meant to pay off informants.
Once again, Charley finds himself torn between two big cases that hurtle him into a web of danger and deceit.
