New on the Mystery Bookshelf during May 2017 …
Justice Delayed by Marti Green, An Innocent Prisoners Mystery (5th in series)
Publisher: Thomas & Mercer
The brutal murder of sixteen-year-old Kelly Braden sends shock waves through a community — and an intellectually disabled man to jail. The only witness to Kelly's murder is the five-year-old cousin she was babysitting. The young girl names their neighbor, Jack Osgood, as the bat-wielding criminal. Two decades later, Osgood faces execution.
Defense Attorney Dani Trumball and her partner, investigator Tommy Noorland, are summoned to the Georgia prison where Osgood is on death row. With no friends or family of his own, there is no one left to believe Jack didn't kill Kelly but Dani and her Help Innocent Prisoners Project. With a mentally disabled son of her own, defending Osgood could be her most heartrending case yet.
While fighting a system that blocks her attempts to overturn his conviction, Dani must race to identify the real killer before Osgood's time runs out — and the murderer strikes again.
