The Brimstone Murders (A Jimmy O'Brien Mystery Novel)

Robbie Farris stabbed his junior college professor twenty-seven times. At his arraignment, Robbie pulls a gun and escapes. After his mother is found murdered in her shabby house trailer, Robbie's lawyer, Jimmy O'Brien, is led into the seemingly unrelated worlds of high-profile, religious evangelism and old-fashioned Mojave Desert borax mining. Jimmy fights the clock, the cops, and the DA in his effort to find and return Robbie before he himself is charged with Section 187…murder in the first degree.
