A Time to Kill

Near the rural town of Clanton, Mississippi, little Tonya Hailey is brutally raped, beaten,
and left for dead by two drunken and remorseless men. The rapists are almost
immediately caught in a road side bar, where they have been bragging of their exploits.
When the men appear in court days later, Tonya’s father Carl bursts out of the courthouse
basement, and executes them with an assault rifle. Murder or executions? Justice or
revenge? Carl trusts his life to only one man in town—local criminal lawyer Jake
Brigance, who dreams of famous cases, headlines, and the big time. Jake is about to face
the fight of his life, and he knows it. Not only is he up against Rufus Buckley—a tough,
ambitious district attorney who realizes that a murder conviction could help him gain
higher office—but he has a much bigger problem: the rapists are white, the judge is
white—and Carl is black. This is a trial sure to change forever the lives of everyone
involved. “A Time to Kill” is a riveting novel that challenges everything we think we
know about justice and equality.

Bedlam Boyz

Prequel to Bedlam's Bard

When one of her friends is gunned down, Kayla uses her latent healing powers to heal her friend--and the gang member who shot him--and soon the city's gangs are eager to use her powers for evil.
Is it possible to be both a normal teenager and a healer? Kayla sets out to prove that it is indeed possible and emerges mostly victorious in the end.
Along the way she encounters gang violence (typical in Los Angeles, I suppose, but I bet you didn't realize there were evil elves involved in drug deals!), a rather interesting pot of stew (do YOU want to be the featured dinner presentation?) and a brief love interest.
This book is part of the Urban Fantasy series that Mercedes Lackey and others have written, including Summoned to Tourney, Knights of Ghosts and Shadows, Bedlam's Bard, Born to Run, and Wheels of Fire. This part of the series is more recent and up to date than the others which were written in the mid-90s.
