You never know when you step from the safety of your home when you may witness a violent death and be called upon to testify as to what you saw and heard and suddenly find yourself with a life in your hands. Murder is a dark enigma that strikes fear in to the heart of man, strange, baffling, mysterious, but the darkest crime one man can invent another man can unravel and such a man is Jonathan Kegg created by Earl Stanley Gardner the worlds most popular writer of mysteries. Mr. Gardner is also creator of the famous Perry Mason, Doug Selby and dozens of equally outstanding fictional characters.

Jonathan Kegg is a lawyer of a very special kind. When he appears in court Jonathan Kegg acts only in the capacity of amicus curiae Latin for friend of the court. It refers to a lawyer who enters a case neither on behalf of the prosecution or the defence and acts impartially seeking only the truth by cross-examination of the witnesses.
