Knowing how I love to read, my mom got me some books for Christmas this year. One of which was a book called, Judd for the Defense. It’s based on the popular 1960’s television series by the same name.
Clinton Judd is the best defense attorney money can buy. He’s confident, handsome, smart, and ruthless when the need arises. Carl Betz played Judd in the ABC series. Clinton Judd is a super lawyer, Perry Mason and Matlock all rolled into one. He even has a streak of Superman in him—he flies— well, his own airplane.
This book is the first of two that were written by Lawrence Louis Goldman. Judd works alongside Ben, his young partner. In this story, Ben decides to go back and visit the Commonwealth University where he graduated. While there he stumbles into a dispute between the college and an old professor, Dr. Michales, who is experimenting with the psychological effects of LSD. The case is made a little more complicated when one of his subjects, a young girl, falls to her death while under the influence of the drug. So the question becomes, is he unethical, a murderer, both, or innocent?
This book is very well written. You will suspect many people but not know exactly who is responsible until the very end when Judd and Ben crack the case.
This book was written by my grandfather, and has held a special place in my heart, and on my bookshelf. It makes me smile, to know that others find joy, and fascination in his works. Thank you for your blog, and I hope that you give some of his other works a try!
