From the Grave (Edward Hall Case)

Disbarred Texas lawyer Edward Hall accepts an offer to represent the most obviously guilty defendant in town. If he handles this case well - meaning he needs to lose - he has a chance to regain his law licence. But as the trial approaches, Edward finds himself having to solve and prove a completely different case: one of cold-blooded murder.
