Ever since he joined Ranger O'Leary in the investigation business, Bill Shannon's life has become a series of karmic indebtedness, so when an opportunity for redemption presented itself, he took it.
August Jacobson was an acclaimed, Illinois defense lawyer until his conviction on rape and jury tapering. It had been national news, so when Shannon saw panhandling outside the entrance to Arlington Park, it appeared more than a fall from grace.
He claimed he had been a victim of a political conspiracy and the wife of the three-term senator had perjured herself when she accused him of rape. No one believed him then and no one believed him now except Bill Shannon. He wanted to believe. He needed to believe. He needed to right a wrong and balance the scales. It wouldn't be easy. Augie made many enemies, including The Chicago Police Department and Ranger. He was on his own and when he began stirring up the past, he aroused the interest of some very powerful people who were more than willing to stop his investigation by any means possible.
