A Brutal Murder... A Violent Suspect... A Defense Team with Doubts.

When two young hunters discover the mutilated, frozen body of Horace Badger, the dean of men at Reliance College, the grisly crime shocks the community. His face is partially eaten away, and he has been slashed viciously with a knife. But why was Badger killed so savagely? And who could have done it?

All eyes turn to Stosh Klewzewski, the ruthless leader of the Catholic White Knights, who is swiftly charged with the murder. But as defense attorney Paul Flaherty and his legal assistant, law student Sam Waterman, dig into the case, they begin to question Klewzewski’s guilt—despite his violent reputation.

Set against the backdrop of post-WWII Pennsylvania, The Badger Game takes readers from the horrors of war to the shadowy scandals within the Catholic Church, delivering a gripping courtroom drama full of suspense and shocking twists. Fans of God Knows No Heroes and Four Women won’t be able to put down Norman Shabel’s latest page-turner.
