Ellen_R | 7 outras críticas | Jan 15, 2016 | Doug McKenzie joins his law firm just to get a chance to work with one of the greats in questioning witnesses at a trial. Dan Morgan knows everyone in the legal area in Pheonix.
One of the firm's clients, Ferris Eddington hires Dan when his daughter-in-law is arrested for killing his only son, Travis.
Dan accepts and Doug assists. This is a benefit for Dan since, Doug's father and Eddington were friends and Doug almost grew up at the ranch.
Rita and her 12 year old daughter, Miranda went into a ranch house, shots were fired and a ranch hand saw them leave with Rita holding the gun.
Rita and Miranda are brought to jail and Maranda becomes catonic.
The trial begins. The prosecutor is a sterertypical bungler, Maximilan Hauser who is cold hearted and out to make a name for himself.
The preperation for the trial and the trial itself were dramatically done. With the murder taking place on a ranch and the trial in the west, it is reminiscent of "Lonesome Dove" where Blue Duck meets his end at the courtroom.
The writing style is precise and in tune with the characters who are well drawn and likable. It is a story that will win your heart and then choke you. The author provides some excellent and totally unexpected plot twists and the courtroom drama is well done.… (mais)

mikedraper | 7 outras críticas | Jun 30, 2009 | De ontbrekende getuige biedt je twee rechtszaken aan voor hetzelfde geld. Dan Morgan, een alom gekende en gevreesde strafpleiter, tracht het onmogelijke gedaan te krijgen: beide verdachten vrijpleiten van moord. Het is verteller en ik-figuur Doug McKenzie die uiteindelijk een grote rol zal spelen in het verhaal. Alleen jammer dat uitgerekend hij zo weinig tot leven komt. Het blijft lange tijd raden naar zijn drijfveren en ideeën. Campbell heeft niettemin een zeer overtuigend verhaal in handen, met een goed doordachte plot, het obligate slotpleidooi van McKenzie en een blik achter de schermen van een groot advocatenkantoor in Phoenix, Arizona. Gefundenes Fressen voor Grishamfans.

What a well plotted legal mystery this is! I don't think I have enjoyed a 'who-done-it' quite so much in a very long time. I was constantly wondering if Rita did it? Did Miranda? Did Rita set it up to look like Miranda murdered her father? I was mostly sure I knew the answer but the final courtroom showdown was very interesting indeed. Unfortunately, it seems as though this is the only book this author has written. I certainly would love to read more of his work.
