Seicho Matsumoto is a renowned Akutagawa Prize-winning (prime Japanese literary honor) author in the American mystery community after successful publication of his Inspector Imanishi books (SOHO Press). Pro Bono is one of his more morally ambiguous works as it questions the meaning of justice.

When Kiriko Yanagida first came to Otsuka's law offices, she had only a familial conviction of her brother's innocence despite his confessing to the murder. To the high-profile (and high priced) lawyer Otsuka, this small-town girl's belief was nothing more than naive hope, so he sent her away, advising her to find a local lawyer or something. Now, Kiriko plots to avenge her brother -- entirely pro bono.
