"Coughlin delivers another thoughtful, brisk-paced and fully satisfying legal mystery." - Publishers Weekly Sometimes the wheels of justice spin out of control... There's big trouble in motor city. Detroit lawyer Charley Sloan has been around the block once or twice. Down for the count, drinking heavily, a three-time loser in the marriage wars, Charley has painstakingly repaired his tattered career, joined Alcoholics Anonymous and clawed his way back in the game. Heading his rogues' gallery of clients is the infamous, twisted angel of mercy, Doctor Death - a somewhat ungrateful client whose patients have a strange habit of dying under very peculiar circumstances. And the game is winner-takes-all. But now Charley steps into a case with the opportunity to do some good. The high stakes include a literal matter of life and death, defending a seriously injured man against a huge corporation. Winning the case would mean that Charley would also help save his old friend and colleague, Mickey Monk, from financial ruin. But, as Charley quickly discovers, he has unwittingly become embroiled in the sinister stench of corruption that reaches to the highest level - including Charley Sloan's respected mentor. Is there anyone left that Charley can trust? Can he escape the Death Penalty? Praise for Death Penalty "In Charley Sloan ... the author has given us a character we can care about.
