Praise for The Prosecution 'Buffa's spare observation, crackling dialogue and shadowy circle of criminals, lawyers and lovers keep you entwined.' -Who Weekly Praise for The Defense 'A gripping courtroom drama . . . leaves you wanting to go back to the beginning and read it all over again.' -New York Times Since D.W. Buffa first burst on the literary scene, his fast-moving stories, complex characters and fearless presentation of provocative legal issues have elevated him alongside Scott Turow and Richard North Patterson as one of the most acclaimed authors in the genre. Now Buffa delivers a tour de force, a stunning story of revenge in which defence attorney Joseph Antonelli faces a challenge that not only pushes his legal skills to the limits but also tests the very basis of his morality. First a powerful and infamous judge is gruesomely murdered. Then another judge is killed in the same manner. Having spent years defending some of the worst people who ever lived, Antonelli delves into the heart of these mysterious events when he agrees to defend the man accused of the second homicide. What he uncovers is a relentless conspiracy that challenges everything he knows about crime and punishment . . . and himself. Beneath the tidy, well-catalogued pile of evidence, he uncovers a twisted trail of retribution and obsession that leads to the real killer, and a plan that is chillingly flawless-the culprit has the perfect defence, and Antonelli is his chosen, though unwilling, instrument. D.W. Buffa served as a defence attorney for ten years. He is the author of the critically acclaimed novels The Defense and The Prosecution.
