Special Directives

The voters in Los Angeles County elect a progressive District Attorney, who issues a series of special directives outlining his policies for reducing prison sentences and granting leniency to all juvenile offenders. Early in his term, the DA convinces an unwitting judge to release a serial rapist, setting in motion a crime spree that law enforcement cannot contain.

With judges taking both sides of the philosophical issue of sentencing, the DA's office in open revolt, and victims enraged, Supervising Judge Charles Dunning must devise a plan to prevent further disastrous outcomes. What else could go wrong? Just about everything one can imagine.

Written by Matt Graham, who spent over four decades as a state prosecutor and judge, Special Directives provides an insider's view of a criminal justice system teetering on the edge of chaos. Packed with shocking twists, Special Directives is a book readers cannot put down.
