Justice Denied - for a Time

A daughter is murdered by the son of a very wealthy man. The son is tried and convicted, and sentenced to death by lethal injection. What if the wealthy father, aware that the appeal processes will not free his son, uses his vast resources and connections to surreptitiously defeat the will of the people?This is the premise of Andrew Neiderman's In Double Jeopardy. It is a well written novel that not only takes a reader down a not improbable path of conspiracy and deception, but it also does a very good job of showing the consequences of a violent crime on the victim's surviving family.While the suspenseful moments in the novel do not occur mainly until near the conclusion, the planning, "execution" (pun intended) and aftermath of the son's avoidance of the death penalty make this novel a fascinating read. The characters, particularly the father of the murdered daughter, are convincing. A great deal of thought went into the writing of this novel, and it would be an enjoyable read for fans of thrillers and the X Files.
