Death Qualified (Barbara Holloway Novels (Paperback))
1 journaler for this copy...
Book Description
Five years ago Barbara Holloway gave up practicing law, disillusioned with a profession that put politics before justice. Then she receives a phone call, with a simple message: "I need you."
Nell Kendrick's husband disappeared seven years earlier, abandoning his young family. Nell hasn't seen him since -- until the day Lucas Kendricks arrives at the edge of her property and is shot, instantly killed.
Accused of his murder, Nell turns to lawyer Frank Holloway for help. But Frank knows he cannot win this case alone. He calls upon his daughter, Barbara, who remains "death qualified" -- legally able to defend clients who face the death penalty if convicted.
Barbara is determined to stay distanced from the case, but the more she learns, the more questions she finds herself asking. Is Nell innocent, as Frank attests? Where has Lucas Kendricks been for the past seven years? Despite her vow, Barbara finds herself drawn to the case . . . and reclaims the search for truth that first led her to the law.
April 17th 2006 is BookCrossing’s 5th Anniversary!
In honor of this event bookcrosser solittletime decided to challenge us with the Race to Three Million Registered Books. I am encouraged that we can reach the goal of registering 3 million books. Of course, I thought this was a great idea and had to be involved! :)
Amazingly, I have many books hiding around the apartment that still needed to be registered. This challenge was the push I needed to register them.
Here is a list of where I find most of my books:
Beaverton Library’s Book Corner
Powell’s bookstore
Annie Blooms Books
Amazon.com
Goodwill
Library sales
and any where else I happen to see a book that catches my eye :)
This book was found at the Friends of the Beaverton Library’s used bookstore, the Book Corner. Most paperbacks are 50 cents and most hard covers are only $1.00! All of the proceeds go to helping support the beautiful Beaverton Library, my second home.
When I started to read this book, I realized I had read it years ago. It is time to share this book with others.
