"A riveting story that hinges on clues so elusive that the tension is exquisitely drawn." -- Midwest Book Review Disillusioned with her corporate legal career, attorney Charlotte Ambler volunteers to handle the final appeal of Christopher Ritter, a Florida death row inmate whose execution is imminent. Ritter had been a prominent biologist before being convicted ten years earlier for the brutal murder of a prostitute. He denies killing the woman but is tormented by guilt for other, secret transgressions. The only appeal he will allow is to prove that he is innocent-a kind of appeal which is almost impossible to succeed. Ritter claims he was framed by a shadowy figure named Craft, but as Charlotte studies the evidence she concludes that he is a dangerous psychopath who should not go free. Then a piece of evidence turns up that confirms a key part of his story. Pursuing her investigation, she is thwarted by hidden forces that seem determined to see him executed. In a race against the clock, she searches for the elusive Craft and finds herself in the cross-hairs of a psychopathic killer. THE DEVIL'S CHAPLAIN is a legal thriller in the tradition of Scott Turow and John Grisham -- a gripping tale of deception and self-deception, betrayal and violence, in which lawyer and client find common ground in their quest for justice and human values. "Brilliant... A highly entertaining mystery with a heroine as compelling as she is gutsy." - Ken Bruen.

Bruce Hartman is the author of seven previous novels, including The Rules of Dreaming, The Philosophical Detective, and, most recently, Potlatch: A Comedy. A graduate of Wesleyan University and Harvard Law School, he lives with his wife in Philadelphia.
