When Elmer Stark's dream of becoming the greatest thoroughbred jockey of all time is shattered by the daughter of a rich and powerful rancher, Elmer employs Arnie Adams. a naive but talented young lawyer to obtain Elmer his due. The flaws of the justice system are exposed while Adams fights the lies and notorious defense attorney, Katherine O'Shaughnessy. Elmer struggles to maintain his faith in Arnie and himself despite the odds against them. The outcome can only be described as stark justice for all the characters. A must read for those who want a glimpse of how the justice system really works!
“Stark Justice is a fast paced, quick, and stimulating read by an author who knows the courtroom and understands how to bring interesting characters to life. Judge T.W. "Chip" Small brings together his deep wisdom, knowledge and understanding of real people, his observations and familiarity with the courtroom, and his awareness of the strategies employed by trial lawyers on both sides of a case in this entertaining story set in the small towns of Eastern Washington. The reader gets an actual and enjoyable education, an inside view of how the legal process truly works, and the thought process of plaintiffs and defense attorneys, litigants, and insurance companies throughout the proceedings. This is a book to be savored." –John R. "Jack" Connelly, Connelly Law Offices
"Retired Judge Chip Small expertly weaves a compelling tale of hope, devastation and triumph, written by a man who saw it all as an attorney for a prestigious law firm and later as a widely respected magistrate. With a gift for flowing prose, Small's writing is reminiscent of the great Dick Francis, the former steeplechase jockey who authored a series of highly popular racing books across the pond. At the center of Stark Justice is a jockey, Elmer Stark, whose promising career is cut short by a freakish tragedy which results in a conclusive civil trial in which Small spares no details on the machinations of the civil justice system." –Vince Bruun, Emerald Downs Racetrack and Casino, Director of Media Relations
