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.
