About A Jury Scorned: The Constitution at Work: A Staggering Whodunnit Mystery Thriller Novel with Courtroom Drama

Robert P. Ingalls has penned a gorgeous courtroom drama novel with a cast of strong lead female characters and unique lawyers, inviting readers into the scene to solve an emotional and challenging murder mystery. An explosive novel driven by character development handling modern-day social issues and historical challenges with a perplexing whodunnit mystery murder trial as a backdrop. At the end of the story, the readers will have a lump in their throat, a tear in their eye, yet a smile on their face. The “triumph over evil” theme of A Jury Scorned is a challenge worth accepting. The twelve jurors of Shara Stewart, Amy Johnson, Kiki Imura, Florence Brown, Elizabeth Barclay, Emily Williams, Susan Montgomery, Eva Shearer, Pat Michaels, Elaine Chin, Olive Hodapp and Lorraine Perrin must now forge through the evidence to ensnare justice. Praise for A Jury Scorned “…is a valuable ]story], and [Robert has] told it well. It’s strong, focused and intense. The characterizations are well drawn and believable.” -Dramatic Publishing (since 1887) “In most murder mysteries, we are trying to figure out if the person on trial is guilty or not guilty of homicide. In this book we are striving to do that and simultaneously trying to figure out if one of the jurors actually committed a capital offense. Also, what is up with all the white silk that Shara [the main character] is sporting? White silk in the bow in her hair, white silk corsage, white silk around her socks, white silk camisole. She opens her briefcase and pulls out what? More frosty silk. That is never explained, yet the reader can tell it has significance. Is this part of a series we don’t know about? Are there white silk garments that are going to travel to another story? Like sort of a white silk trilogy or something we don’t know about yet? What is up?” -Book Editors and Robert Ingall's friends Excerpt from the book: "A man slumps dead in a favorite reclining chair. The ice in the clear cocktail glass has long since liquesced. The aroma of alcohol lingers hard in the air. Each juror has heard the long, deliberated tediousness of the lawyers – can they deliberate past their own personal challenges to find the truth; or, will the truth simply slip away as certainly as life itself? Only one leader will be able to guide this jury to the truth; and to, ultimately, a rebirth of spirit."
