Trail to Justice — Terrell L. Bowers

Spence Kane was a consistent lawyer. He'd handled fifteen court cases and lost every one of them because all of his clients were guilty. Then out of the blue a Denver judge appointed him to look into the conditions at an institution for the insane near Junction City, Colorado.

Appalled by the filth and brutality at the Country Acre Asylum -- and by the fact that some perfectly sane people were held there at the behest of the powerful boss of Junction City -- Spence vowed to reform the place or destroy it. But what kind of a chance did he have with his less-than-brilliant court record and the opposition of ruthless Daton Umbridge?
