Thriller Legal
Thomas Dennehy, senior prosecutor in Davidson County, Tennessee, doesnβt recognize Nashville anymore: a decade of relentless immigration means cops are learning Spanish, and the DAβs office is looking for Vietnamese translators. Thomasβs latest case is prosecuting Moses Bol, a Sudanese refugee who faces the death penalty for killing a white woman in the Nations, a notorious, racially charged part of town. Bolβs conviction seems certain, until a university professor claims Thomas has sent the wrong man to the death chamber in a previous case. The DAβs office is rocked to its core, but another blow falls within days: a beautiful and brilliant anti-death penalty activist mysteriously surfaces as Bolβs alibi. Bolβs case becomes a lightning rod as protestors on all sides converge on Nashville, threatening to tear the city apart. Meanwhile, Bolβs alibi has secrets of her own β and is terrified of someone working behind the scenes to get what he wants β even if it means murder.
