description: Publishers Weekly called Craig Parshall's Trial by Ordeal an enjoyable romp for legal thriller aficionados. Now Parshall takes his readers to the nation's capital where a hitherto unknown document has turned up...and turned into murder. As the Smithsonian's president examines a newly discovered account of Abraham Lincoln's assassination an intruder steals in kills him and disappears into the night with the document. Vinnie Archmont an accomplished and stunningly beautiful artist is implicated. She hires the brilliant but secretly guilt-burdened criminal law professor J.D. Blackstone. Blackstone finds himself uncovering the Mystic Freemasons' most guarded secret. He reluctantly turns to his uncle a Bible-quoting Anglican priest and occult-religions expert. Enemies like a sorcery-obsessed billionaire English lord a powerful U.S. Senator and a ruthless prosecutor force Blackstone to employ all his cunning. In the process he is compelled to choose between spiritual counterfeit and Gospel truth guilt and forgiveness...destruction and a new beginning.
