Craig Parshall (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2003

The Accused confronts attorney Will Chambers with the terrifying temptation to avenge the brutal crime that shattered his past.

Enjoying a Cancún honeymoon with his wife, Fiona, Will is ambushed by two unexpected events: a terrorist kidnapping of a U.S. official...and the news that a link has been found to the previously unidentified murderer of Will’s first wife.

The kidnapping pulls the attorney into the case of Marine colonel Caleb Marlowe, who stands accused of the murder of civilians during a secret attempt to thwart the kidnapping.

Abandoned by the U.S. government, the colonel is ping–ponged to the International Criminal Court, with Will arguing his defense. When treachery drags Will and Marlowe toward vengeance, they must ask—Is forgiveness real?

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good reading..., November 27, 2003

This review is from: The Accused (Chambers of Justice Series #3) (Paperback)

After years of grief, Will Chambers has finally been able to move past it and marry Fiona. While on their honeymoon, he gets a call that threatens to overturn all of that.

The looming spectre of terrorism that has lingered over our country for the past few years has materialized in the form of kidnapping a US official, and the clues left behind are linked to the death of Will's first wife. The heat rises when Will is thrust into another case, saving a Marine colnel from courtmartial for the actions he took on a rescue mission.

Politics, memories, and danger make life a hotbed for Will Chambers. Were it not for the faith in God that his new wife helped him find, all might be lost. Forgiveness and trust in God are the keys to survival for this modern day crusader. As he goes to battle, he has the assurance that God is on his side.

*** The previous novels in this series have had the complexity of Grisham, now Mr. Parshall can be compared to Tom Clancy. The cast of characters continues to gain depth and dimension as their lives evolve at a natural pace. Showing how scripture can be a regular part of everyday life is a very key and strong feature to this series. ***

5.0 out of 5 stars It's All Here!, April 5, 2004

By 

Magster (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Accused (Chambers of Justice Series #3) (Paperback)

Power hungry politicians, fiendish terrorists, treacherous drug dealers and corrupt police perpetrate the gripping events that plunge Will Chambers into the most dangerous case of his life. Once again things are not as seem when a highly respected special forces Colonel is accused of killing an innocent family during a daring rescue operation. The fact that Colonel Marlow cannot reveal all of the details makes defending him even more complex.
In this his third book in the Chambers of Justice series, Craig Parshall has once again proven that he can weave headline events, courtroom drama, human relationships and emerging faith in God into a powerful and thought provoking story. It begins joyfully with Will and Fiona on their honeymoon in Cancun. Having worked out some of their earlier communication problems and having set aside their busy schedules, they are ready to settle into married life. However, before the honeymoon is completed, the kidnapping of an American official begins a series of events that may once again awaken the demons that Will thought he had defeated.
Parshall deftly pulls together characters and events from the first two books, giving justice another chance to prevail against those who escaped her power before. Cops and Christians don't believe in coincidence so, once again we also see the role that God plays in the lives of those who put their faith in Him.

This review is from: The Accused (Chambers of Justice Series #3) (Paperback)

Craig has truly topped himself in his latest addition to the Chambers of Justice series. If I could give this book 10 stars I would because it's that good! Once again Will takes us on a journey of faith and will captivate your thinking, heart, mind and soul. What an absolutely tremedously gifted writer Craig Parshall is! He's a man who obviously knows what it's like to be forgiven and knows to the depth of the marrow of his bones that the forgiveness of Christ Jesus is real. Will finds this out, and hopefully as you walk out your faith walk, you will find that truth out as well. Amen, Mr. Parshall! I love you!
