By Reason of Insanity by Randy Singer


Catherine O'Rourke is a newspaper reporter covering the high profile trial of a woman accused of murdering her husband in cold blood. That woman, Annie Newburg Hofstetter, is being defended by her brother Quinn Newburg, a flashy Vegas lawyer whose forté is representing the criminally insane.

Once Catherine returns to her hometown of Virginia Beach, she begins writing articles about a disturbing series of kidnappings and murders. Those articles contain startling details that seemingly only those close to the investigation would know, and Catherine takes the heat for not revealing her anonymous source, to the extent of being jailed for her silence. She begins having visions of the crimes she's reported on and shares the details with her confidential source. Things start to get intense as those details, along with physical evidence, begin to point to her as the main suspect.

At Catherine's request, Quinn Newburg comes to Virginia to assist in her defense. Can his expertise of the insanity plea help set Catherine free?
