Death of a Prince

The defendant in the murder of plaintiffs' attorney Phillip Parker hires criminal defense attorney, Sandra Salinsky, to handle the case. Salinsky and her mother, Erma Townley, are law partners as well as sparing partners, pretty much different as night and day. Since the decedent was Erma's best friend, the case becomes more complicated than it first appears. Although the defendant claims she's innocent, Sandra soon learns there were millions of reasons to kill Parker, and not all of them were about money. To make matters worse, Edgar Saul, the prosecutor from hell, is assigned to the case. Sandra and Erma put their heads together to try to figure out who really killed Parker, but it seems everyone has a different story of the events on the night of the murder. One thing is certain, someone stole the victim's watch and ring, which could turn a murder into a capital murder, a death penalty offense. Sandra has to find the killer before her client is indicted and tried for capital murder. Before the case is over, Sandra risks everything to solve a crime that leads into the very pillars of Galveston society. She puts herself in danger to capture a killer who will take no chances in making her the next victim.
