Justice
Gone
A beaten homeless vet. Three cops gunned
down. A multistate manhunt. The trial of the decade.
A new kind of legal thriller
When a homeless war veteran is beaten to
death by the police, stormy protests ensue, engulfing a small New Jersey town.
Soon after, three cops are gunned down.
A
multi-state manhunt is underway for a cop killer on the loose. And Dr Tessa
Thorpe, a veteran's counselor, is caught up in the chase.
Donald Darfield, an African-American Iraqi
war vet, war-time buddy of the beaten man, and one of Tessa's patients, is
holed up in a mountain cabin. Tessa, acting on instinct, sets off to find him,
but the swarm of law enforcement officers gets there first, leading to
Darfield's dramatic capture.
Now, the only people separating him from
the lethal needle of state justice are Tessa and ageing blind lawyer, Nathaniel
Bodine. Can they untangle the web tightening around Darfield in time, when the
press and the justice system are baying for revenge?
