Book Description:
Steve Cole is a young public defense attorney with a long list of clients:
Among them is Jeff Harris, who is facing a life sentence under a law that
Steve believes is cruel and unfair. When Harris is presented with a plea
bargain that would spare him a life sentence, Steve urges his client to
accept. Steve is shocked when Harris turns down the plea bargain in favor of
going to trial. Steve quickly finds himself in the most difficult case of
his career, in addition to all his other clients. Nevertheless, Steve grows
to respect Harris and the decision he made, compelling him to work
tirelessly for a not-guilty verdict for Harris.
Throughout the
novel, author Bill Jaquette weaves his own thirty-plus years’ experience in
public defense and provides readers with an intimate look at the day-to-day
lives and struggles of public defense attorneys. The result is a
compassionate portrayal of some of the most critical figures in the American
courts, their clients, and the arduous and complicated role of maintaining
justice.
