Book 2 in the Chambers of Justice Series
“I loved this book! I didn’t think I could possibly enjoy another book as much as I did Craig Parshall’s first novel, The Resurrection File. But I simply couldn’t put Custody of the State down!”

Veiled Threats…
False Allegations…
Corruption in High Places…
It Couldn’t Happen Here…
Mary Sue Fellows, a young mother from rural Georgia, and Joe, her farmer husband, are suspected of having committed the unthinkable against their own child.
Having fled from the law to protect her little boy and shield her imprisoned husband, Mary Sue makes a desperate call to attorney Will Chambers. Reluctantly, Will agrees to take on their defense—and soon he’s plunged into a vortex of small-town secrets and big-time corruption.
Struggling to keep justice from miscarrying—and straining to keep the relationship with the woman he loves from disintegrating—the attorney must oppose a government system that seems bent on destroying the Fellows family. Soon Will is forced to ask for himself, Does God really protect us from evil?—as intimidation, backroom maneuvering, and the looming shadow of a national threat push him into his own dangerous encounter…with the custody of the state.
“This is not only a great mystery, but also a deeply moving, redemptive book.…Although few novels make it into Hollywood movies, this is one that deserves translation to the big screen. Bravo!”
