The Two-Witness Rule: A Novel

Assistant District Attorney Scott Marino, has been assigned a tough case—the prosecution of Max Gordon, one of the nation’s most prominent and successful defense attorneys, accused of paying witnesses to commit perjury in a Savannah criminal trial.

Some crimes are just different. Murder is the most serious crime committed on an individual, but perjury is the most dangerous to the criminal justice system. While one witness is legally sufficient to prove murder, for perjury, the “two-witness rule” applies. But the young prosecutor is challenged by more than this unique rule. He must prosecute a cunning lawyer who is defended by another just as crafty. He wants this dishonest attorney disbarred and put away for 10 years. With the stakes so high, Marino faces threats to both his integrity and his life as he prepares for the biggest trial of his young career.

This is the third novel by William Eleazer. All of his novels—Savannah Law, The Indictments, and now, The Two-Witness Rule—share the same locale: beautiful and quaint Savannah Georgia
