Description
Two racially charged cases. Two attorneys searching for the truth. But only one will stay alive long enough to find it. 1964 Justice, Mississippi, is a town divided. White and black. Rich and poor. Rule makers and rule breakers. Right or wrong, everyone assumes their place behind a fragile façade that is about to crumble. When attorney Coop Lindsay agrees to defend a black man accused of murdering a white teenager, the bribes and death threats don't intimidate him. As he prepares for the case of a lifetime, the young lawyer knows it's the verdict that poses the real threat—innocent or guilty, because of his stand Coop is no longer welcome in Justice. As he follows his conscience, he wonders just how far some people will go to make sure he doesn't finish his job? 2014 To some, the result of the trial still feels like a fresh wound even fifty years later, when Coop's grandson arrives in Justice seeking answers to the questions unresolved by the trial that changed his family's legacy. When a new case is presented, again pitting white against black, this third generation Lindsay may have the opportunity he needs to right the wrongs of the past. But hate destroys everything it touches, and the Lindsay family will not escape unscathed.

        Starred review from November 15, 2014

        Collins's (The Cutting Edge; Darkness Before Dawn) gripping legal thriller features two generations of Mississippi lawyers who dare to take racially charged cases. In 1964 Justice, MS, Coop Lindsay, a white attorney, is asked by an African American woman to help her grandson, who has been charged with rape and murder. The town is heavily divided over the issue, and, ultimately, Coop is killed and the defendant disappears. Fifty years later, Coop's grandson returns to the town to take on an eerily similar case. As he digs for the evidence, he finds clues to the identity of his grandfather's killer that will help him solve the current and past cases. VERDICT Collins has written a fast-paced, plot-driven tale of suspense that is reminiscent of Greg Iles's Natchez Burning. The graphic details of life in the deep South during the civil rights movement and today's civil unrest will resonate with readers.
