Description
Returning to his Georgia roots, attorney Will Lee takes on a case that quickly becomes far more than a courtroom battle: he defends a white man accused of raping a Black woman, only to discover that the truth is tangled in prejudice, politics, and public spectacle. As his legal strategy collides with a volatile media spotlight and a community divided by race and power, Will finds himself pulled into a political firestorm that threatens his career and his conscience. With the momentum of a classic legal thriller and the sharp, Southern-inflected storytelling Stuart Woods is known for, this novel explores the cost of justice when the stakes extend beyond the law. Expect courtroom tension, political intrigue, and a relentless push toward a resolution that forces everyone involved to confront what they’re willing to defend.
