COMMON PLEAS, A Tale of Whoa!" is a legal thriller novel colored with humor set in rural North Carolina in the mid-1980's. If John Grisham, Harper Lee, and Larry the Cable Guy were penned for a weekend in a cabin with nothing but a typewriter and an ample supply of bourbon, wine, and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, something like this might result. Read as the Good, the Bad, and the Butt Ugly collide in this riotous journey to a rural North Carolina courtroom, ending in a verdict of local justice. Veteran trial attorney Bob Lee Pender battles his courtroom adversary, the facts, and even his own client through the winding journey of a rowdy, fast-paced, suspenseful high-profile murder trial made possible by the collective contributions of a sordid and colorful cast only a local courthouse could produce. This is an intense and informative tale of the mechanics and realities of courtroom justice, whether Southern or elsewhere--a tale of "Whoa!"

The book is set in an elementary school that is out of control. The principal runs things in order to please the students and parents—not by the right way to do things. Halfway through the year, the principal gets murdered. However, although something terrible happened, some really good things came from this tragedy.
