By A.J. Basinski

It is October 1969. After five years, the war in Vietnam continues to divide the United States. Private Perry Morrocco, an antiwar activist, is charged with the brutal, bloody murder of Sergeant Eustice Benson in Fort Daley, Georgia. Although he is facing the death penalty if convicted in a court martial, he insists that he wants to be represented by a fellow basic trainee, Private Frank Grabowski. Grabowski is a recent law school graduate who has never tried a single case. His only trial training is watching reruns of the Perry Mason television show.At first, Grabowski is reluctant to undertake the representation of Morrocco because of his lack of trial experience. Only after a pretty, young JAG lawyer, Lieutenant Karen Farrall, is assigned as his co-counsel, does Grabowski agree to represent Morrocco. Grabowski falls hard for Lieutenant Farrall and a romantic relationship soon develops between the two lawyers.The lead JAG prosecutor, Colonel Bradford, does everything he can to sabotage the defense team strategy, including withholding evidence and trying to remove Grabowski from the case.The investigation, trial preparations and the trial itself are all seen through the eyes of Grabowski.The ending of this military thriller will surprise everyone.If you enjoyed reading James Patterson's novel, Juror #3, you will love A Rainy Night in Georgia.
