Laredo Slider is the sequel to the award-winning The Shadow of Justice, and features the same protagonist: Clark N. Addison, a criminal-court judge in Miami. Judge Addison seems to be in luck these days. If he can catch the next plane to Chicago, a judicial colleague has a ticket for him to a post-season playoff game between the Cubs and the San Francisco Giants. But Judge Addison's visit to the "friendly confines" of Wrigley Field will involve everything but a baseball game. Despite a level of security that is described as unprecedented, a nationally-prominent political candidate is assassinated before the eyes of forty thousand fans and millions of TV-watchers. Russians? Terrorists? Crazies? Everyone has a theory; no one has a clue.Addison has played many roles in the criminal justice system. He's a sitting judge, and was formerly a prosecutor. But as Laredo Slider unravels, he realizes that he's being sized up for the one role in the process for which he was never prepared: that of suspect. And if he doesn't solve this impossible murder - solve it without being able to go anywhere, or conduct any investigation - he may become the only suspect.Full of insight into how the criminal law works and how it doesn't, Laredo Slider is an exciting and worthy successor to The Shadow of Justice.
