Reckoning Hour - (Dean Lincoln Legal Thriller) by Peter O'Mahoney (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Murder. Arson. Secrets. Justice is about to come home.

Big-city defense lawyer Dean Lincoln left his picturesque hometown of Beaufort years ago. But now, the lure of small-town life and a family matter have drawn him back.

Amidst the sultry heat and the Spanish moss, and beneath the facade of Southern small-town charm, Lincoln begins work again and is immediately thrown into two cases: a rich kid charged with murder and a poor kid accused of arson. Both swear they are innocent. Both feel the system is trying to crush them. And in this corner of the South, guilt is rarely decided in the courtroom...

Lincoln's return has stirred a long-standing grudge, and it could cost him everything--his career, his clients, even his life. As the clock runs out on the truth, trouble is closing in fast.
