Where murder is entertainment, and everyone wants a front-row seat.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCharlie Trust thought he'd found paradise on California's Carbon Beach. Then one morning he watches as sheriff's deputies swarm the yellow house just down the sand, and he sees the two bodies being carried away in black bags. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArnie Duncan and his wife have been shot to death in their living room. No forced entry. Nothing stolen. Just execution-style murders that send shockwaves through Malibu's golden times. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe cops think they know who did it: Jerry Duncan, the couple's 23-year-old son. He says he found the bodies. He called 911. He stands to inherit millions. Gotta be him, right? Case closed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe city is already obsessed with Lyle and Eric Menendez, the Beverly Hills brothers who are accused of shotgunning their parents to death because they were impatient to claim their inheritance. This is just the same thing all over again, isn't it? Of course it is. The Menendez trial is about to begin, and the similarities are too perfect for the media to talk about anything else. The media convicts Jerry even before he's arrested. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Los Angeles in 1993, perception is reality. The truth is whatever the cameras say it is. And right now, every camera in LA is pointed at Jerry Duncan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut when Jerry Duncan sits on Charlie's deck just down the beach from where his parents were murdered, he seems terrified, and Charlie thinks he sees something the media doesn't. A scared kid who's probably innocent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThat makes the question for Charlie a really simple one. Can he stand between the media mob and Jerry Duncan for long enough to prove it? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the author of HABEAS CORPUS and CONTEMPT OF COURT comes the third riveting installment in the Charlie Trust series. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA razor-sharp legal thriller that captures the time when television turned justice into entertainment, and trying to avoid the spotlight might end up being the most dangerous choice of all.\u003c\/i\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 372\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.83 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48452534468857,"sku":"9786166308532","price":24.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/QiKqS6ST3H9786166308532.webp?v=1779954831","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/hearsay-testimony-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
