Produktinformationen zu „The Truth of it All / A Julia Geary Legal Thriller Bd.1 (ePub)“
A page-turning legal thriller and searing social commentary on immigration, sexual assault, and racism in small-town America-for fans of Laura Lippman's Wilde Lake.
A hot-button legal case fuels a community's smoldering hostility-but the dark secret at its heart could set the town ablaze.
Public defender Julia Geary moves through life in simmering resentment-at her husband, a soldier killed in Iraq, leaving her a single mother; at her low-paying job; and at her overbearing mother-in law, whose home she shares. She longs for a breakout case, and it arrives when members of the high school soccer team report seeing a teammate-Iraqi refugee Sami Mohammed-assaulting a girl in the locker room.
In a town where animosity against refugees has already reached a fever pitch, Julia throws all her energy into Sami's defense. She finds an ally in high school principal Dom Parrish, who believes Sami is innocent, and the case suddenly turns red hot.
Then she begins receiving vicious threats against her family, and a senseless act of violence leaves Sami in a coma. And finally, a crop of new evidence emerges that points to the town's most prominent citizens and pits Julia against powerful forces set on burying the truth once and for all.
If Sami survives and Julia can prove him innocent, it will be the case of a lifetime. But now it's her life that's on the line.
