...until Proven Innocent: a Peter Sharp Legal Mystery Gene Grossman

It's tough enough defending innocent people, but attorney Peter Sharp's new client has a reputation for disliking any person of color, and is then arrested with a smoking gun, standing over the body of a dead black man he had recently been seen arguing with. To make matters even worse, the district attorney (Peter's bitter ex-wife) has proved that the defendant's gun is in fact the murder weapon, and that both the accused and deceased were in the building alone when the shooting took place. Peter has no defense for his client, and gets that sinking feeling every lawyer gets when forced to start a trial without having anything to say on behalf of a client who refuses to accept any plea bargain. Will Suzi comes to the rescue this time? The final courtroom scene is a stunner.
