Praise for D.W. Buffa's The Defense An accomplished first novel.it ends with a couple of twists that are really shocking. And it leaves you wanting to go back to the beginning and read it again. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times An excellent legal thriller with a well thought-out plot and believable characters. But it also scores as a novel of cold, calculating revenge perpetrated by an intelligence so formidable it goes unrecognized until too late. USA Today It was a one-way ticket out of his self-imposed isolation and into the courtroom on the right side of justice. It was a favour for his old friend Judge Horace Woolner. It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to serve as a special prosecutor in a case against Marshall Goodwin, the chief deputy district attorney accused of having his former wife murdered. It was an opportunity Joseph Antonelli couldn't walk away from. But Antonelli may be taking on more than he can handle. The Goodwin case renews his appetite for the practice of law and, although he is determined to do the right thing, there are many shades of right and wrong. And Antonelli may be getting in over his head when he finds himself propelled into the midst of the gruesome murder of an elusive patron of the arts from a prominent Portland family. Horace Woolner's wife, Alma, stands accused of the crime. With justice and love on the line, the stakes couldn't be higher. With The Prosecution, D.W. Buffa delivers on the promise of The Defense, taking us into the dark recesses of our courtrooms and our souls, where there are never any easy answers.
