A Historical Legal Thriller of Murder, Conspiracy, and Courtroom Drama in the 1968 South

In 1968 Virginia, a double murder at a wealthy estate leads to the immediate arrest of Jerome Washington, a Black man employed by the victims. Facing a hostile community and a judicial system designed for a rapid, unjust conviction, Jerome’s defense falls to an unprecedented legal partnership.

Jack Lee, a local white attorney accustomed to the status quo, joins forces with Desiree DuBose, a Black lawyer from the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Together, they must navigate a rigged courtroom and a town steeped in prejudice. As they investigate the physical evidence of the crime, they uncover a conspiracy extending far beyond the wealthy estate, risking their own lives and careers to challenge institutional racism.

Why You’ll Love This Book

David Baldacci delivers a high-stakes historical legal procedural built on the specific, tense realities of the Jim Crow South. This dual-perspective investigation features two unlikely sleuths from vastly different worlds who must unravel a deeply entrenched, small-town cover-up that moves far beyond a simple whodunit.
