The Accused

As with the previous books in his 'Chambers of Justice' series, Craig Parshall delivers another top notch story. Attorney Will Chambers is retained to defend a Marine Corps colonel who has been accused of multiple murder in an anti-terrorist mission gone badly awry. Along with Chamber's defense of the colonel, he has to deal with a grandstanding U.S. senator and a heavy handed prosecution in the International Criminal Court. It is a great story throughout. There is good courtroom drama as well as military action. Aong with those main plot elements are Christian themes of prayer, faith, and forgiveness. This story is well done and not to be missed by Parshall fans. For those who have not read him before, I recommend starting with 'The Resurrection File', which is the first one in this collection. Do yourself a favor and check out this series by Craig Parshall.

Power hungry politicians, fiendish terrorists, treacherous drug dealers and corrupt police perpetrate the gripping events that plunge Will Chambers into the most dangerous case of his life. Once again things are not as seem when a highly respected special forces Colonel is accused of killing an innocent family during a daring rescue operation. The fact that Colonel Marlow cannot reveal all of the details makes defending him even more complex. In this his third book in the Chambers of Justice series, Craig Parshall has once again proven that he can weave headline events, courtroom drama, human relationships and emerging faith in God into a powerful and thought provoking story. It begins joyfully with Will and Fiona on their honeymoon in Cancun. Having worked out some of their earlier communication problems and having set aside their busy schedules, they are ready to settle into married life. However, before the honeymoon is completed, the kidnapping of an American official begins a series of events that may once again awaken the demons that Will thought he had defeated. Parshall deftly pulls together characters and events from the first two books, giving justice another chance to prevail against those who escaped her power before. Cops and Christians don't believe in coincidence so, once again we also see the role that God plays in the lives of those who put their faith in Him.

This was an excellent, fast-paced book. Like Mr. Parshall's others in this series, I read this within 24 hours. The only thing that kept this one from a 5-star is Fiona - she has too many issues and is too insecure! Otherwise, love the characters and the plot twists!

Craig has truly topped himself in his latest addition to the Chambers of Justice series. If I could give this book 10 stars I would because it's that good! Once again Will takes us on a journey of faith and will captivate your thinking, heart, mind and soul. What an absolutely tremedously gifted writer Craig Parshall is! He's a man who obviously knows what it's like to be forgiven and knows to the depth of the marrow of his bones that the forgiveness of Christ Jesus is real. Will finds this out, and hopefully as you walk out your faith walk, you will find that truth out as well. Amen, Mr. Parshall! I love you! Also recommended: Of course the other books in the Chambers of Justice series!

Will, Fiona, Tiny, Len -- good characters (who are now old friends to us) return in a top-notch international, military mystery. After a covert military raid goes horribly wrong, a decorated hero stands before an international court. From the first page to the last, this book is pure excitement. Each book Craig Parshall writes gets better and better.
