In this startling novel, Rawlinson superbly examines the moral dilemma of ends and means and offers an insightful exploration of the darker human tendencies. Between compelling courtroom scenes and powerful flashbacks to the War, Indictment for Murder is a tale of high suspense and devastating revelation. In the past he had been seated on the judge's bench looking towards the dock in which he now stood... He turned and faced the clerk, who asked a fourth time: 'How say you? Are you Guilty or Not Guilty?' Jonathan Playfair, Knight of the Realm, sometime Judge of the High Court, is standing trial for the murder of David Trelawney. The two once fought side by side in the mountains of North Africa, and the death of David 50 years later unearths the tainted details of their past together. While the Prosecutor tells the court of Trelawney's death, Jonathan is far away--in the recesses of his mind where memories from North Africa, long buried, pierce and consume him; where he cannot escape having witnessed another man's death in this dark Africa of 50 years past.

On November 22, 1963, the 35th President of the United States was gunned down on the streets of a modern American city. In the fifty years since that crime was committed in Dallas, hundreds of books, reports, and articles have been written about this tragic event in American history. Collectively, these works examine every aspect of the assassination, from the errors and cover-up of the Warren Commission, to discrepancies in, and manipulation of the evidence. They look at the number of assassins, their firing position, the number and timing of the shots, and the numerous other details of the murder. This book does not revisit any of these topics. This book uses that information to assert why the shooters were there.

Bigelow and Bemis were counsel for Rogers. While a prisoner, Rogers stabbed the warden at Charlestown prison to death. He was acquitted on the ground of insanity, but committed suicide a few weeks after the trial by throwing himself out of a window. The case is significant for its early and successful presentation of the insanity defense.
