Book excerpt: When the peccadilloes of his law-firm partner sink the business, Eddie Amos returns to the Commonwealth Attorney's office as a prosecutor, having as his chief goals the conviction of (1) on longstanding sexual-abuse matters, the administrator of a city-funded youth organization, and (2) the city's drug-czar/pimp. A number of subplots feed into this main plot, involving a lawsuit (first of its kind) against a distillery, as well as an assassination, two murders and a possible suicide. Characters range all the way from an Episcopal priest (Vietnam vet) to drug pushers, dope-heads, prostitutes, crooked cops, embezzlers, troubled teenagers and lawyers. There are four romantic involvements, the most captivating being that of a young lawyer and his devoutly religious paralegal.The young lawyer, planning to use for advancement of his career the inevitable notoriety attached to such a bizarre case, convinces the widow of a truck-driver killed in an accident caused by a drunk driver to sue the distillery that made the whiskey involved ? instead of the usual bartender or bar owner ? for damages, something that has never been done. Amos attempts to find employment at the large firm representing the distillery but is turned down by a partner to whose wife Amos was once practically engaged, the upshot being Amos' return to the prosecutor's office. The murder of the distillery's embezzler/comptroller causes Amos to develop damning facts concerning the distillery president that he proposes to trade to the young lawyer in exchange for the lawyer's agreement to institute a sexual-abuse civil suit against the administrator of the government-funded youth activity, who has harmed youngsters for years. Because of city pressure, rumors about the man have never been followed-up, thus the need for a civil case in order to bring pressure to institute a criminal case.The administrator of the youth program indoctrinates youngsters in perversion techniques (causing them too much shame to talk about) and feeds them to the pimp/drug-czar, a totally amoral monster who pimps both boys and women, using/abusing them and keeping them quiet through sheer fear. He also runs the entire illicit drug operation in the city. Amos figures a way to bring him down, though he never gets to do it because both men die violently.The young lawyer, who is independently wealthy, falls in love with one of his paralegals, a bright, attractive lady who researches and designs a viable ? brilliant ? lawsuit based on precedents set in tobacco cases, who is deeply religious, applies successfully for a short mission endeavor and presents him with a new set of values to consider. Though he has always loved the woman to whom he was nearly engaged many years before, Amos and the Episcopal priest are attracted to a restaurateur, widowed when her husband was killed by a drunk driver a few years before. Her son and Amos experience a mutual animosity, ruining any chance for Amos and the boy's mother to have a relationship, and the boy is instrumental in Amos' death.
