If you like studies of the judicial system, No Lesser Plea by Robert K Tannenbaum is right up your alley.
I don’t see the cover for my paperback on Goodreads or Amazon, but this red cover jumped off the page at me, so I am sharing it instead.
My 56
“No, I’m really sick,man. You gotta help me, like you said. I gotta get out of this shit hole…”

GOODREADS BLURB: In Book One of the bestselling Butch Karp legal thriller series, Karp must stop a murderer who is manipulating the law to escape punishment
Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Roger “Butch” Karp has been around New York long enough to realize that the judicial system can be dirty and cynical. But he still believes in justice. So when a vicious sociopath tries to dodge a brutal murder charge by convincing the court he is incompetent to stand trial, Karp teams up with firecracker Assistant DA Marlene Ciampi to unleash the full force of their relentless energy, hardboiled wit, and passion for the truth to put the killer away for good. They will accept no lesser plea.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Robert K. Tanenbaum including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Which cover do you prefer?
My favourite is the far right. The smoking barrels work very well with the title, I think…:). Have a great week-end, Sherry.
I don’t recall this one.
I like the left one the best. I think it’s the font for the title that appeals to me.
Sounds really good to me. Real, like.
I added you to the Linky. Happy Sunday!
