The Halls of Justice Unabridged edition

A legal thriller about identical twin sisters who are raped by a man who escapes conviction on a technicality. But one of the sisters kills the rapist, though no one can tell which one, and the state prosecutor has the added burden of knowing that the killing was justified.

Santa Monica Deputy District Attorney Sal Milano is prosecuting the most explosive and high-profile case of his career. A small-time thug with ties to the mob has been charged with raping twin sisters, one of them the stunning Diane Pierman, a celebrated attorney and Sal's longtime court rival. The case is thrown out on a technicality, but a few days after the trial, one of the sisters hunts down and kills their assailant. Neither one will talk and both are charged with murder one. Now Sal is working the case of a lifetime, with the headlines and attention enough to satisfy even his ambitions. But everything depends on prosecuting and convicting two beautiful women who, in the eyes of the public, have righted a grievous wrong.
