The Reader's Retreat: A Calamity of Souls by David Baldacci

The Reader's Retreat: A Calamity of Souls by David Baldacci

Virginia, 1968. In a small town fractured by racial tensions, a young Black man is accused of murdering a wealthy white family. The evidence is stacked against him, and the community is demanding a swift conviction. Two lawyers—Jack, a white attorney from a prominent family, and Desiree, a Black attorney risking her career—must join forces to uncover the truth in a courtroom, and a town, consumed by prejudice. A Calamity of Souls is a powerful, high-stakes legal thriller that is both a gripping mystery and a profound look at the biases that still haunt America.
