I use Kindle Unlimited - which is a great way to periodically supplement my Audible addiction when I run out of credits. Not Grisham or John Hart - yet oddly absorbing Dove was very good with the delivery of the story Listening to Robert Bailey’s “The Professor” was a super fast listen and a great escape. Will justice prevail against false accusations, arson, murder, bribes and elusive evidence which cannot be proven? I could not put this book down until the bitter end … which as one would hope, ended not so bitter. To our surprise, Tom gives the case to Rick Drake, a hot-headed former student with whom Tom has had an adversary relationship. Was it really their fault? She is searching for the truth of what happened and begs McMurtrie to take the case. A horrendous intersection accident has occurred, killing her daughter, son-in-law and 2-year old granddaughter, as well as the trucker in the other vehicle. Like it or not, it’s goodbye! An old flame comes along with a legal proposition. There’s no paranoia here, the “powers that be” really wanted him out and they have skillfully engineered it to happen. University politics and just plain unadulterated envy has convincingly and unfairly pushed Tom out. However, McMurtrie’s career has abruptly ended. He has written the acclaimed book on Rules of Evidence. He has enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a law professor in a renowned university.
Revised edition: This edition of The Professor includes editorial revisions.Īt 68 years of age Tom McMurtrie has had it all.
With everything to lose and only justice to gain, will McMurtrie and Drake overcome bad blood to defeat a ruthless adversary? Can the Professor turn back the clock and recover all that he’s lost? On the eve of the trial and with his case unraveling in the midst of a dangerous cover-up that threatens to silence his star witnesses, Drake realizes that only his estranged mentor, Professor McMurtrie, can help him now. Drake, now a fledgling lawyer, takes the case against the freight carrier and soon begins to uncover the truth behind the tragedy that is buried in a tangled web of arson, bribery, and greed. Meanwhile, a devastating trucking accident in Henshaw, Alabama, leaves a young family dead. But when a power-hungry colleague uses a recent run-in between McMurtrie and headstrong student Rick Drake to end his career, he is left unsure what to do next. Law professor Thomas Jackson McMurtrie literally wrote the book on evidence in the state of Alabama.
