Dave Brunelle has to prosecute the case in their Tribal Court. It's bad enough when the defense attorney claims the killing was justified under the ancient custom of "blood revenge." It gets worse when blood revenge turns into a blood feud. The bodies start piling up, and it looks like Brunelle may be next. Can he stay alive long enough to win the case? Review "Stephen Penner's books are filled with legal insight, entertaining dialogue, and fascinating characters." --Amazon Reader Review . "There is no disappointment when Brunelle takes a case. From the first page to the last, the reader is drawn ahead, even into the wee hours of the night. The very human and very conflicted lead character seems to reflect a lot about all of us. I can see a little of me in him as he makes decisions concerning his profession and his family. He is one of my favorite characters." --Amazon Reader Review . "David Brunelle may or may not win his case, but Stephen Penner has definitely created a winner here."--Amazon Reader Review About the Author Stephen Penner is an author, attorney, and adjunct law professor from Seattle, Washington.
