It was a who’s who of the local legal world as justices, judges, lawyers and friends gathered at the Michigan Historical Museum to witness Michigan Court of Appeals Judge William C. Whitbeck signing his first novel, “To Account for Murder,” a legal thriller.
The Dec. 1 event was sponsored by the Historical Society of Greater Lansing, the Michigan Historical Commission, the Michigan Political History Society, Thomas M. Cooley Law
School, Michigan State University College of Law and the Ingham County Legal News.
The novel, now available at local book stores and on line, is set in post-war Michigan. It is a layered courtroom drama about murder, sex, corruption and politics. The climax of the
book takes place at Jackson State Penitentiary, the world’s largest walled prison.
Whitbeck was a practicing attorney before he became a judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals, where he served as chief judge.
