Publisher's Synopsis
Mystery lovers will delight in The Second Verdict, the much anticipated and wildly original debut from newcomer Mark Shaver. Written with a sheer and prosaic elegance, vengeance is gritty and poetic when three men feel the bond of allegiance to avenge the victim of a monstrous crime. Justice is served, only for them to become unwitting targets as they are blackmailed and coerced in a dangerous chain reaction of further forced justice.
