What Goes Around, is Coming Back!

The time period is the late 1970s, and, fair or unfair, the general reputation of lawyers is poor. Such was the case; at least, concerning the affairs related to, "What Goes Around, is Coming Back!" In fact, things had taken such a bad turn that notorious criminals were getting off the judicial hook, at an alarming rate. Much of this was the direct result of shoddy police work, plus unskilled attorneys, who failed to apply the law correctly. Righteous prosecution and justice had suffered, but not for long!

The two main characters are Susan, a bright and aspiring attorney, and Rod Morland, a ghost's ghost. The two of them, by sheer chance, or fate, end up working closely together to guarantee that justice prevails in the lives of those who deserve it most, good or bad. The time to settle the score had arrived. The time to set hearts at peace had also arrived.

Little did Susan expect - upon buying Mr. Morland's old house - that her expanding knowledge, and legal expertise, would be the direct result of his special skills at ghostly communication.

In the novel, you will learn of his unique and phantomlike approach to teaching. You will also learn about the "Book of Debts," a very special manuscript that appears sometimes, and Mr. Morland uses it to give Susan clues about unsolved murders. Its name should give you a bit of a hint, but be prepared to be surprised!

Besides the ghost, Susan inherits an old tomcat, Sob, who likes to occasionally amuse, frustrate, and unintentionally scare her. Luckily, in more friendly and important moments, Sob becomes her intentional protector! Another interesting character is Bob Bringman, an older, retired farmer, and father figure. He provides his invaluable assistance, during Susan's determined attempts at renovating Mr. Morland's old house, built in the late 1800s.

Susan, 25, already possesses a good knowledge of the law, having worked in law offices as a secretary, and as a researcher, during and after high school; while in pursuit of a more advanced degree. But, the unanticipated purchase of Mr. Morland's house boosted her learning curve in a dynamic fashion. Why were they brought together? Delayed justice, perhaps? I hope you will enjoy finding out for yourself.

The old house is a two-story structure, built to last, and located near a small farming town named Omeroy. Tragically, Mr. Morland took his own life in the house; but after Susan moves in, he begins to make contact with her. Not quickly, but continually - once he begins to understand Susan's great passion for law and justice.

During a very active life, Mr. Morland was a practicing attorney/veterinarian/rancher, who sadly committed suicide, after his expert defense of a man, accused of murdering a young girl, freed the man to kill again. Mr. Morland did not know that his client was guilty, until this monster committed his second murder. Once again, the victim was a young woman, and Mr. Morland had given the murderer freedom to end another innocent life. Mr. Morland is back, and fighting mad this time. He has found a partner and ally in Susan, and he slowly, and expertly molds her into his earthly tool of justice.

Mr. Morland has a plan, and it's called "What Goes Around, is Coming Back!" With the help of Susan, and the "Book of Debts," justice will be served.
