Habeas Corpus

Los Angeles, 1992.

Charlie Trust is a Budweiser kind of guy living in a champagne world. After grinding away his soul as a divorce attorney in Virginia, he’s found the ultimate escape: a borrowed house on Malibu’s exclusive Carbon Beach.

His plan is simple. Drink beer, drive his cherry-red ’69 Mustang, watch the Pacific Ocean, and figure out what to do with the rest of his life. He has no clients, no office, and absolutely no desire ever to practice law again.

Then the riots tear through Los Angeles, and America’s paradise turns to ashes. The fires are still burning in Hollywood when Charlie’s neighbor comes knocking and brings a different kind of disaster to his door.

Martin Cole, Detective Harry Murphy on one of TV’s hottest cop shows, is a familiar face to most Americans. He’s also a man whose wife has gone missing, and two hotshot detectives from LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division don’t think she walked away. They think Marty Cole killed her.
