Synopsis

Disillusioned with both the legal system and his private life, criminal attorney Ben Kincaid abandons his practice for a less stressful pastime: playing with a combo at Uncle Earl's Jazz Emporium. The musician's life is bliss--until a corpse crashes through the ceiling with a grisly smile carved on its face.

The body is that of "Cajun Lily" Campbell, legendary singer and onetime girlfriend of club owner Earl Bonner. The cops are convinced that Bonner killed her--and Kincaid knows he didn't. Though he swore he was through with law forever, Kincaid descends into an underworld of gangs, drugs, Internet sex "clubs," and long-standing vendettas. And at the bottom, a killer waits, targeting Kincaid as the next to die with a smile on his face.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Are you a fan of Richard North Patterson?? Scott Turow??? Philip Friedman?? All masters of the courtroom thriller. Well, I admire all those writers -- but I am also a huge fan of William Bernhardt's. EXTREME JUSTICE is my favorite of his books. I highly recommend him to friends who love a clever whodunit and great courtroom action.

Kim Hovey, VP and Director of Publicity

From the Back Cover:

Praise for the bestselling novels of William Bernhardt

PRIMARY JUSTICE
"Bernhardt skillfully combines a cast of richly drawn characters, multiple plots, a damning portrait of a big law firm, and a climax that will take most readers by surprise."
--Chicago Tribune

BLIND JUSTICE
"A gem . . . Besides the excellent courtroom action, there is a clever whodunit plot with a strong surprise solution."
--The Armchair Detective

DEADLY JUSTICE
"Compelling and fast-paced . . . Ben Kincaid is a refreshing change from the omniscient, holier-than-thou attorney/investigators whose courtroom acrobatics and aerial law displays are more show than substance."
--Mostly Murder

PERFECT JUSTICE
"Captivating . . . A welcome addition to the fictional bar."
--New York Law Journal
