Directed Verdict


Directed Verdict by Randy Singer.

Fast paced, twists and turns, mysteries within mysteries, and a dash of romance… I would have to agree with those critics that say Randy Singer is as good as, if not better than, John Grisham in writing legal thrillers. I couldn’t put it down and was racing to read it to the end.

Although it starts out a little slow in building the background for the trial, it quickly turns into a fascinating tale with multiple plot lines that keeps you guessing and at the edge of your seat. The book is about an unprecedented civil rights suit brought against Saudi Arabia and the ruthless head of the Muttawa, religious police, who think nothing of killing those who defy them and the Muslim religion. “A case with David and Goliath odds with one lawyer willing to challenge an entire nation.” Witnesses disappear, jurors are bribed, lives are threatened and the defense team appears to be infiltrated. There is a maze of deception and treachery as the attorney risks his career, his case and his personal life.

I highly recommend this new book and predict this book will be another one that will keep flying off the shelf.
