Judge Sarah Drexler, a widow of three years, suddenly finds her life in upheaval when she's asked to run for Oregon State Judge. Confused and lonely, she heads off to a family reunion at her father's home in East Shasta, California...
...Where something is obviously wrong. Her father has hired a detective, her son is keeping a secret, and so is her daughter. About the only thing that's normal is that Uncle Peter's tomato garden is dying again this year.
And when her father dies and the detective is found murdered, Judge Drexler has to face some tough questions. Is her son capable of murder? Would she withhold evidence to protect him? When justice is served, whose justice is it?
Thoughtful, endearing, and thoroughly captivating, Justice for Some is a classic from one of America's most cherished novelists.

It was a very lucky day for me when Kate Wilhelm came into the office. I found her so charming, I couldn't wait to read one of her books, and I started with FOR THE DEFENSE. It is, quite simply, a wonderful book with engaging characters and an unique and intricate plot that kept me guessing to the very (unpredictable) end. I immediately read all Kate's other books, and now look forward to each new one.
