The only question is, "Will he be brought to justice " Set in Quincy, IL, he meticulously plans to kill a prominent businesswoman. Her shocking death triggers a city-wide panic. Police have little evidence to solve the crime while the victim's family and friends must cope with their own grief as the years drag on and no one is arrested. A JURY OF PEERS is a story about faith, shame and making amends as the ever-secretive Hemmler strives to repay society for the crime he has committed. Will he succeed Or will he kill again A true antihero, Doug Hemmler will evoke revulsion. But he may also evoke sympathy. Two reporters help drive the story to its ironic climax when the killer is forced to face the enormity of his crime in the one place he has dreaded the most. There he has no choice but to look into the face of pure evil: the face of another murderer.
