Hailed by Publishers Weekly as the "John Grisham of the Christian market" best-selling author Robert Whitlow continues to grow in recognition and sales. His second novel is now being newly packaged and promoted for a Fall 2004 re-launch. Angela Hightower, beautiful heiress and daughter of the most powerful man in Dennison Springs, is found dead at the bottom of a ravine. The accused killer, Peter Thomason, needs a lawyer. Reluctantly, Kent "Mac"McClain takes the case. As Thomason asserts his innocence, the evidence pointing to his guilt seems insurmountable. Is Mac defending a psychopath? Or has Thomason been framed-possibly by a member of the victim's own family?
The Trial was awarded the prestigious Christy Award for excellence in Christian fiction.
