description: No one had a more brilliant legal mind than Judge Calvin Jeffries. And no one cared less about the law and more about power. That is, until Jeffries is found murdered in a courthouse parking lot. The crime shocks the community, but justice is swift. Jeffries's killer is caught, confesses, and then unexpectedly commits suicide in his jail cell. The case is closed.Soon a second judge is stabbed to death under identical circumstances. This time the suspect is a homeless derelict who doesn't even know his wn name. Like the Jeffries murder, the killing appears to be an open-and-shut case, and a copycat crime as well.
