Descriere Worse Than a Lie: A Beau Lee Cooper Novel - Ben Crump

In this gripping thriller, truth and justice are called into question when a Black man is gunned down in cold blood--the first novel in a riveting series from renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump. \nIt's the night of November 4, 2008. America's first Black president has just been elected. And fifty-three-year-old Hollis Montrose--a Black ex-police officer from the suburbs of Chicago--has become the latest victim of a brutal and explicitly racially-motivated attack. He was shot thirty times in cold blood by four resentful white men . . . with police badges. \n \nWhen Hollis miraculously survives the encounter, the Chicago Police Department has already spun the narrative in their favor, and the court swiftly sentences him to a wrongful forty-five years in prison. But soon, the public outcry for Hollis' freedom reaches his old friend and fraternity brother from his college days--Beau Lee Cooper, also known as the best civil rights lawyer in the country. \n \nWithout hesitation, Beau hops on a flight from Houston to Chicago to come fight for justice for Hollis. And with Beau and his team on the case, it's only a matter of time until corruptive truths are unveiled and justice is served.\n
