Thriller Legal
Thomas Dennehy, senior prosecutor in Davidson County, Tennessee, doesnโt recognize Nashville anymore: a decade of relentless immigration means cops are learning Spanish, and the DAโs office is looking for Vietnamese translators. Thomasโs 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. Bolโs conviction seems certain, until a university professor claims Thomas has sent the wrong man to the death chamber in a previous case. The DAโs office is rocked to its core, but another blow falls within days: a beautiful and brilliant anti-death penalty activist mysteriously surfaces as Bolโs alibi. Bolโs case becomes a lightning rod as protestors on all sides converge on Nashville, threatening to tear the city apart. Meanwhile, Bolโs alibi has secrets of her own โ and is terrified of someone working behind the scenes to get what he wants โ even if it means murder.
