A Struggle with Justice

When a killer demands the death penalty, justice pays a price.When a juror is murdered for a single dissenting vote, the crime shocks a community and ignites a legal and moral crisis. Benjamin Gilson, grieving father of a murdered child, confesses-not only to killing the juror, but to seeking his own execution as justice fulfilled.Assigned to defend him is Steve Cole, a public defender whose opposition to capital punishment collides with a client determined to die. As guilt is conceded and mitigation rejected, the adversarial system itself begins to fracture. Told from inside the courtroom and the conscience of the lawyer, A Struggle with Justice is a gripping exploration of grief, vengeance, faith, and professional duty. When the law offers death, who truly decides-and who must live with the consequences?
