Offered a shot at redemption and revenge, he returns to his hometown of Bear Creek, Arkansas, to defend a man accused of a contract killing--hired by none other than the wealthy landowner who once destroyed Gideon's own family. Yet as the case unfolds, Gideon finds it's more complicated and dangerous than he'd imagined. In a world of old hatreds, lost loves, and crumbling family myths, Gideon is caught between his professional instincts and his personal desires. Now, he must make the most painful choice of his life, to settle an old score...or let a killer go free.

BLIND JUDGMENT: A Gideon Page Novel

"Stockley has produced a delightful and intriguing human story. It is to be hoped he will use his newly found talent to dig into his past experiences as background for more such captivating tales." ASSOCIATED PRESS A prominent Arkansas politico and state senator is murdered, and the babbling, incoherent man accused of the crime has insanity plea written all over him. Everyone, including Gideon Page, the public defender, thinks this case is nailed shut. But Gideon is curious about a few things, and what he discovers is that even the innocent need an airtight alibi, when a simple case of puppy love turns into a fatal affair to remember.

"Entertaining...Fast, fascinating." THE SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE When the profits of his law firm dip too low, ex-public defender Gideon Page is fired--but not before he steals a case that has all the makings of a media nightmare. Dr. Andrew Chapman, a black psychiatrist, is charged with manslaughter when a severely retarded girl dies in his care during a risky--and some say barbaric--elctro-shock procedure. When it turns out that the doctor and the girl's mother were having an affair, the press is about to have a field day. That is, unless Gideon can unravel the many twisted threads of truth, battle a county steeped in racial strife, and lock horns with a tough, ambitious, female prosecutor in a courtroom set to explode....

Leigh Wallace, the knockout daughter of a big-time minister, is behind bars, accused of murdering her wealthy husband. Defending her is the county's legendary and dying trial lawyer, Chet Bracken, who now asks none other than lowly lawyer Gideon Page to help him on the case. Page is ecstatic -- a victory would solidify his career. Thoughts of victory quickly dissipate as hidden truths about the serpentine case begin to emerge: that Chet has something up his sleeve...that whatever is up Chet's sleeve, Page's own daughter doesn't want him to find it...that everyone from bimbos to bible thumpers seem to fit into this case...and that jealousy, lust, and religious loyalty can be effective roadblocks to rightful conviction....
