A Murder of Crows

Grappling with a newly-found sense of ethics and his troubled conscience, the defence attorney, Lawson Russell, gets disbarred after accusing his client of guilt. Disgraced, the ex-lawyer retreats to sunny Key West to write a book when unexpectedly, a mysterious elderly Englishman will ask his opinion on his unpublished novel. But after the old author's unforeseen death, Lawson will yield to the overbearing temptation of passing off the stranger's work as his own and will harvest the fruits of an overnight success; however, the repulsive but suspiciously accurate details of five actual unsolved killings will bring the seasoned detective, Clifford Dubose, on his doorstep. Still, if one is innocent, how does he prove it when all evidence is gone?
