Restitution
Meet Bill Duncan, the well-respected Deputy Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney for Jefferson County and the central figure in this legal mystery, which begins with the trial of a violent criminal with a secret and shady past. When Duncan takes over the case from a dubious colleague, he faces a slick defense attorney and a petulant judge. He ultimately wins a conviction, only to be swept up in post-trial accusations of fraud and malfeasance before becoming the prime suspect in a murder case.

Restitution traces Duncan's efforts to clear himself, and along the way he encounters insidious power deep inside the government and shocking betrayal from those he loved and trusted. The story culminates with his exoneration and an ultimate recognition of his own desires, weaknesses and beliefs.

"An ex-prosecutor, Moriarty knows his way around the courthouse and the courtroom, and he brings both alive with a thrilling story and memorable characters." —James Irving, author of the Joth Proctor Mystery Series.

"Restitution is a page-turner that grabs you with the opening chapter and doesn't let go. Stephen Moriarty takes you from the secretive back rooms of the judicial system that he knows from personal experience as a prosecutor to the heights of international intrigue with an ending that surprises, shocks and makes you eager for his next novel." —Molly Moore, former court reporter for The Washington Post and author of A Woman at War: Storming Kuwait with the U.S. Marines.
