The Pardon of Thomas Whalen
Governor John Chatham faces a political storm over pardoning Thomas Whalen for a murder amid a tangle of loyalties and a woman's confession that she killed Brokoski. Private secretary Leonard Gilman builds a theory implicating a jealous lover, but the governor finalizes clemency to pursue justice, with Handy muttering about politics.
