Tool Marks Don't Lie

Jake Alexander, a wealthy trial attorney, lay dead alongside his young lover on the floor of his Florida penthouse. The housekeeper said Jake¿s exiled son, Dave, ran from the crime scene. Dave asked his law school roommate, Charlie Carne, to represent him. But Charlie had never tried a capital case. The judge said the defense needed an attorney with death-row experience, so Dunstan Dundee joined the team. Dee Dee had ample experience, but his main interest became Jake¿s financial assistant and ex-lover¿Suzanne¿not Dave¿s innocence. The prosecutor had fingerprints, hair, fibers, and blackmail, but his witnesses lied. Did fired cartridge cases found on the floor come from the revolver with Dave¿s prints¿or had Dave been framed? Charlie would have to tie the fired cartridge cases to the killer if he was to save his friend.
