Synopses & Reviews
Legal Ease is not a manual on how to write a mystery novel, nor is it a sensational handbook on writing violence and gore. It is a straightforward guide to using legal details in fiction. The book also interests and inspires the reader by highlighting the inherently dramatic and philosophical nature of the struggle for legal justice. Legal Ease is written by a writer for writers, with the expert input of a municipal court judge. The pair explains the details of criminal law procedure, beginning with the scene of the crime and ending with the courtroom. This book is an essential reference for anyone who writes mysteries, suspense, or fiction that would benefit from legal verisimilitude.
