This book is Randy Singer at his best! When investigative reporter, Rachel Crawford, was gunned down on live television, the resulting lawsuit against the firearm's manufacturer goes prime time. As the plaintiff's attorney, Kelly Starling, and defense counsel, Jason Noble, prepare for the trial, their respective cases become targets of outside influences. Seemingly long forgotten secrets surface and threaten the careers of both attorneys. As their pasts hold their futures hostage, a countdown starts that may result in a misfire of justice. From the discharge of a gun in the opening pages, this novel takes off like a high-octane race car. The author's legal expertise gives readers a behind-the-podium look at this explosive case. Both sides of the gun control issue are explored and developed through compassionate and convincing characters. The idea of suing a gun manufacturer for a firearm that ended up in a crazed killer's hand seems at times, just, and at other times, unreasonable. But that's the beauty of this book; readers are led through opposing arguments to come to a conclusion that addresses all the fine points. To add to an already high interest level, the author puts the lawyers in their own 'trials'. Past indiscretions enter their lives, whispering warnings to comply or defy--at their own risk. The defense counsel and prosecutor become paralyzed puppets until a greater force severs the strings. The vital truths and principles of Christianity enter this novel with a quiet and firm purpose. There is a startling sense of reality as the characters yield to a sense of justice larger than the system they seek to serve. It's to the author's credit that this aspect of the novel is every bit as believable as the legal procedures. The Justice Game offers a win-win solution. Return to top of page.
