Aggravating Circumstances

by Timothy C. Baldwin

Mitch Brooks is an unproven rookie prosecutor whose star is on the rise. His unyielding ambition to prosecute the biggest cases lands him the trial of a remorseless killer who murdered a store clerk during a robbery and a police officer who tried to stop his escape. Mitch must overcome his own inexperience and the skill of the preeminent defense attorney in the city of Indianapolis to see that justice is delivered for two grieving families. Mitch relies on the sage advice of a veteran prosecutor who takes him under his wing, the gritty homicide detective who tracked down the killer, and his single-minded determination for justice as he prepares for the trial that can make or break his fledgling career. With relentless preparation, he faces the ultimate test of his ability, all the while falling in love with a beautiful woman when love is the last thing on his mind.
