First of all let me say that the publisher provided me an advance copy of the book for no cost in exchange for a fair review.
If you are one of my regular review readers let me give a disclaimer about the book as I start.
The book has some graphic language and scenes that would make me not recommend the book to young readers, nor to those who are turned off by such language. It is not overwhelming, it is true to today’s culture, so it will be nothing shocking.
The story is set when a world famous actor is accused by two women of sexual misconduct. The accusations are set, a lawsuit is filed and a prosecutor sinks her teeth into the claims to see if there is actionable material to indict Aaron Julian for a major sex crime.
Needless to say the fact that he is world famous is what drives this story to the top of the fold on newspapers throughout the country. The #metoo movement is going to be front and center in the drama to follow.
The actor claims innocence. His wife, a famous singer, also claims his innocence.
A third woman comes forward and gives an explosive interview on network television giving graphic details to what she slams was a sexual attack.
The problems mount for our star. But he maintains his innocence. He hires a high price lawyer and she and her investigators jump into action. They find evidence that the actor is being set up.
Now, let’s add a murder of an attorney to the mix and more accusations will fly.
The story is well written for the drama and intensity of emotions that the characters will work through.
The ego’s of lawyers, judges, detectives and even the FBI come into question.
Let me just remind people that human nature is sinful. We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). So, is Aaron without sin? Nope, but has he been targeted for accusations that are false? Well, that is the crux of the story.
I hope you can enjoy the read and that you will find things in it that make you ponder your trust is our judicial system as well as in human nature.
