A Deadly Judgment by Jessica Fletcher, Donald Bain
Jessica Fletcher is off to Boston to help her eccentric lawyer friend, Malcolm McLoon, defend a tycoon accused of fratricide. McLoon had asked her, "Can you help me as a jury consultant?"

Her uncanny sleuthing talents will be important when the two old acquaintances dive into the case with the characteristic vigor each is known for. Even so, Jessica anticipates enough time to take in the charming sights of New England's historic capital.

When the defendant's girlfriend--and his only alibi--is found dead in her apartment, the case takes another turn for the worse. Is someone out to make sure the accused gets convicted? Jessica has her suspicions, and soon--when jurors become victims of deadly accidents--there's even more to ponder. With only her gut feelings at her disposal, Jessica must outwit the tenacious prosecutor determined to get a guilty verdict. She must find the real killer before he, or is it she, finds her!
