Defending Her Honor — Richard Fliegel

Superior Court Judge Judith Frick is found bound to her headboard the night her husband Walter is stabbed to death in their kitchen. When Lieutenant Patricia Newman learns Her Honor has tied one of the knots herself, the judge becomes the prime suspect. Judith turns to an old flame, Jack Stryker, an investigator for the DA's office when she was a prosecutor. If Jack would confirm the sex games they used to play, the Lieutenant should start pursuing Walter's true killer. But Jack is not a man who does as he is told ... and is soon entangled in a mystery of murder, banking, and the independent judiciary.
