Murder Has Two Faces: Murder Pays when Justice Fails. Gordon M. Labuhn

Murder Has Two Faces challenges the reader to discover who is killing ill prison inmates so that guilty cons on death row can walk to freedom. The mystery is magnified by pressure on Judge Knoche to find the killer before a prisoner is released and finalizes his threat to kill the judge. Lovers of mysteries will find this 81,500 word story an intriguing challenge. There are glimpses of the prison violence found in Mary Seattle's "Killing Ground". Death chamber fears conveyed by Stephen King's "Green Mile", and good old fashion Sherlock Holmes detective work. The killer must be exposed! Where is the kjiller hiding? Who will be next? The suspets are few. The killer's cover-up is a masterpiece. Tell tale signs are difficult to find, but they are in plain sight. False images, false perceptions, and false expectations provide a hiding place. The doctor, nurse, priest, nun, and three guards are suspects, all of whom strive to expose the killer. Legal manipulation, team analysis, scientific testing, and futuristic electronic technology fail to fracture the woven wall of falsehoods. Only careful observation can penetrate the false images to reveal the identity of the killer. The judge is determined to catch the murderer. Will you know who the killer is before the judge does?
