A startling and original courtroom drama from New York Times #1 Best Seller John Grisham that is the prequel to his legal thriller The Whistler. An Original E-Short.

A judge’s first murder trial.

A defense attorney in over his head.

A prosecutor out for blood and glory.

The accused, who is possibly innocent.

And the killer, who may have just committed the perfect crime.
