He was the star football player, who turned every girl’s head and even some boys’, but he had eyes only for her. He was her first in everything but he was also her last. When she found out she was pregnant and he was leaving for the Army right after graduation, she knew they were going to grow apart. She decided to not get the abortion they agreed on, deciding to raise her most cherished gift Matt left her, their son Caleb.
 Matt Davis, aka Gunny, loved being in the Army’s special forces. As a Ranger Sniper, he earned his moniker with his love of armory, any kind or sort; new or antique; legal or illegal, it made no difference in his collection. And just like his cache of dangerous weapons, he lived his life to the fullest and never looked back. There wasn’t a girl he didn’t like or a job he wouldn’t take on. His fast-paced life, however, came to a halt when he opened his front door to Evie, his first and only genuine love. The shock of seeing her turned into dismay when he discovers she did not get the abortion they agreed on and instead he is now the father to an eighteen-year-old boy who has gone missing from his senior spring break in Cancun, Mexico.
 Together Evie and Gunny will embark on the most important mission of Gunny’s life, and the most heartbreaking for Evie. Will they find their missing son? Will Gunny forgive her for keeping this secret for twenty years, and will Evie be able to tell Gunny the true story behind her decision to keep their son?

     Richly plotted, Harrington’s novel is alive with a large cast of memorable characters and real, powerful issues, including destroyed careers, political upheaval, racial clashes, and a major scandal. At the centre we have a Lieutenant of Detectives with the job of bringing a murderer to justice, but he's torn between duty and his hatred of capital punishment. We follow the lives of those centrally and pivotally concerned in the case—the murderer and the murderer’s wife, lawyers and journalists, gubernatorial candidates and prostitutes—through the events leading up to the trial, the trial itself, and its grim aftermath. Praise for Trial: ‘Mr. Harrington blends all his disparate themes skilfully, holding the reader’s attention riveted and constructing his story tightly.’ — Publishers’ Weekly. William Harrington (1931-2000) was born in Ohio and studied law at Ohio State University. An attorney for nearly 20 years, he became a full-time writer in 1980. Harrington published almost thirty novels during his career, including The English Lady (1982) and a series of six novels featuring fictional TV detective Columbo.
