About this listen

 Controversial author and scholar David Etheridge is not the kind of company an aspiring politician wants to keep. But ambitious senator Robert McCrutchen has a history with Etheridge that he's desperately trying to keep under wraps: 22 years ago, both men were investigated in the still-unsolved death of a young coed.

When Etheridge returns to Oregon, McCrutchen is his grudging host - until the senator is found shot dead. Now, Etheridge is once again suspected of murder, only this time, with the cold case reopened, he's facing a double charge.

Attorney Barbara Holloway must battle both the prosecution and the court of public opinion, which has already tried and convicted Etheridge for both murders. As the pressure mounts, Barbara must risk her own life to protect a client and preserve justice.

Very strange book, apparently with no actual story line? For a long time, it's unclear where this might be going. As a matter of a fact, I had to give up before I found out. Just pieces of narration that go on and on and seem to have no purpose?

Very strange indeed. But then again, maybe it's me. Maybe I simply missed the point.

PS: no real harm done as I listened to it free of charge as part of the 'plus catalogue', but if I had paid for it, it would have been quite a disappointment.

What is this even about? [I never found out.]
