DescriptionAt the center of The Undertaker's Widow is the beleaguered figure of Richard Quinn - a judge so ethical that he is willing to risk his own life to see that justice prevails in his courtroom. But as Quinn discovers when he presides over the trial of tough-talking state congresswoman Ellen Crease, there is not always a clear path of justice. A former police officer, Crease is a flamboyant public figure who stands accused of conspiring to murder her husband, a wealthy tycoon who got his start in the funeral parlor business.

As he zeros in on the deadly secret at the heart of this trial, the judge finds that his efforts to do the right thing lead him even deeper into an insidious maze of murder and deceit.
