Publisher's Summary
'This is David Baldacci at his best' - Michael Connelly
'I couldn’t stop turning the pages, fascinated, moved, horrified' – Alex Michaelides
'A Tour de Force' – S.A. Cosby
'May be the best novel David Baldacci has ever written' - Scott Turow
'A tale of high tension, false assumptions and stubborn humanity' - Stacey Abrams
Set in the tumultuous year of 1968 in southern Virginia, a murder case sets a duo of Black and white lawyers against a deeply unfair system as they work to defend their wrongfully-accused Black defendants in this courtroom drama from the number one bestselling author David Baldacci.
Jack Lee is a white lawyer from Freeman County, Virginia, who has never done anything to push back against racism, until he decides to represent Jerome Washington, a Black man charged with killing an elderly and wealthy white couple. Doubting his decision, Lee fears that his legal skills may not be enough to prevail in a case where the odds are already stacked against both him and his client. And he quickly finds himself out of his depth when he realizes that what is at stake is far greater than the outcome of a murder trial.
Desiree DuBose is a Black lawyer from Chicago who has devoted her life to furthering the causes of justice and equality for everyone. She comes to Freeman County and enters a fractious and unwieldy partnership with Lee in a legal battle against the best prosecutor in town. Yet DuBose is also aware that powerful outside forces are at work to blunt the victories achieved by the Civil Rights era.
Lee and DuBose could not be more dissimilar. On their own, neither one can stop the prosecution’s deliberate march towards a guilty verdict and the electric chair. But together, the pair fight for what once seemed impossible: a chance for a fair trial and true justice.
Critic Reviews
Powerful, enlightening, and entertaining are some of the superlatives that might come to mind as listeners are transported to the world of trial attorney Jack Lee in Virginia in 1968--brought to life by a uniformly outstanding cast. - AudioFile

Too jingoistic
I’m not American, so for me there was too much jingoistic and unnecessary US black/white political history that didn’t add to the story.
I’m the same vintage as the author, so the historical information isn’t new to me, but I can understand why the author felt it was necessary to add this detail for younger readers who may not be aware US history.
A good story but I didn’t enjoy it as much as some of his other work.

Right will always win over wrong
Another excellent story with twists and turns in every chapter.
Not your typical Baldacci story but a superb book.

Soulful, tragic and hopeful
This is undoubtedly the best this author has written. Whilst there is little hope for the south of America and racism, this book brings the reader to consider the possibilities. Absolutely brilliant, Harper Lee would be proud.
