Blood on the Leaves

Description

A D.A. torn between justice and the law... A professor caught between righteousness and revenge... The legal battle that could rip a city apart... James Reynolds is Mississippi's only black deputy district attorney and his conviction rate is second to none. He firmly believes the law is the only way to true, color-blind justice. But he will soon prosecute the most emotionally wrenching case of his career. White men responsible for brutal murders during the civil rights era are turning up dead, and a renowned African-American professor is charged with the crimes. Now, amid an overwhelming media blitz, Reynolds finds himself on a playing field where the rules change every day. A man with rage in his heart knows Reynolds's deepest secrets...and is using them to exact a very personal kind of vengeance. ISBN:9780446615921
