Plea

The Plea is a thrilling conclusion to Joe Kavinsky's role in capturing and bringing to justice a gang of drug smugglers terrorizing the Upper Midwest with drugs and death. Focusing on how drugs beget terrorism, the story features a pretty young Muslim woman who was the drug lord's companion planning terrorism at a giant shopping mall. She claims she's innocent and being denied a plea bargain promised by federal and local authorities by helping them capture the drug lord. However, her promise is ignored and she's locked up without charges and goes through a very complex hearing before a judge who is considered biased, despite Joe's efforts for fairness in her behalf. A "shady" lawyer is suspected of being paid off by the Taliban if she's deported back to them. But before the judge makes a decision, Kavinsky also becomes involved in the capture of another woman...the killer of Joe's police partner who also helped to round up the terrorists. All this poses the questions: How will the mistreated woman prisoner be judged? Who's the bad attorney? And who's the cop killer? The way this story unfolds...there are some very exciting and surprising answers!
