Small town politics!

Amos Walker was on trial for the murder of his wife. And the criminal justice system of Rivertown, U.S.A. was also on trial. Walker was a corrup and powerful political boss, and most people in the town owed him a favor...including Michael Tostini, the presiding judge. For it was Walker who had appointed the young Viet Nam vet to the bench. And now Tostini was up for re-election and needed all the help he could get. Being too objective in this case would almost certainly cost him his political future.But it was a risk he had to take. So was his curiosity about Rivertown's other murder. Someone had killed Tostini's own bailiff, and he was determined to find out why. But an anonymous caller warns the judge that this time he is risking not only his future, but the lives of his family as well.
