The Solar Murder — Stan Daneman

Description

Greg Winters has never lost a murder case on behalf of his clients. Even for the most respected lawyer in California this is an impressive record. After his most recent success it is now time for Greg to retire. To retire to his cabin where his late wife rests in peace.

The drowning of Maxi Starr and the arrest of her multi millionaire husband put paid to Greg’s retirement plans.

Paxton and Maxi Starr had a public argument in front of their friends. What was said between them was blanketed out by the sliding doors onto the patio. Several hours later Maxi drowned in her bathtub. Was it murder or just a tragic accident after Maxi had too much to drink that night? Had Paxton planned for the housekeeper to be away at the time that his wife died?

In defending his client Greg Winters uncovers some unexpected pieces of information – how will this affect his planning for the trial?

Why was Greg so interested in finding the shawl that Maxi wore on the night that she died? Why did Maxi drink so much that particular night? And what did
‘KIND I DENVER, PLEASE PLEASE!’ mean?

Why did Greg develop such an interest in renewable energy?

Reader reviews and ratings:

 
“A murder seems to have been committed and ace defence lawyer Greg Winters, no doubt encouraged by the $1m his would-be client agrees to pay him, takes what he knows will be his last case before retirement. San Francisco-based Greg and his team do their research, present their case in court but, in the process, uncover much more than they had bargained for. Greg Winters’ last case proves to have more ramifications than anyone could have foreseen – least of all his client, the international construction company boss, Paxton Starr, and his intimate circle of friends.

Stan Daneman’s ‘The Solar Murder’ is his first crime novel. In matching action with an appeal to those preferring more cerebral stimulation, it caters for a wide range of tastes – and deserves a wide audience.”
