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 attack. As the result of a traffic stop gone wrong, Hollis is shot ten times in cold blood, by four white men who could have been his colleagues back in his police days.Beau Lee Cooper was born serious, as if on an urgent mission with little time to waste. Raised in the tumultuous world of 1970s Texas, he always dreamed of becoming a lawyer and fighting for what's right, ever since he was a little boy reading To K*ll a Mockingbird. And now, ten years into running his own law firm with his best friend and partner in crime, Nelson "Nellie" Rivers, and his suave right-hand-man, Brent "Cape" Capers, he feels he's finally making a difference. When Beau Lee learns about Hollis's situation, he's determined to help.Miraculously, Hollis survives the encounter, but the Chicago police department has already spun the narrative in its favor, and Hollis is given a wrongful Pr*son sentence with an unreasonable bail. What really happened that night the car was pulled over? Was it random or was Hollis targeted? Beau Lee knows he's treading in dangerous waters, and finding evidence of the truth will be his biggest challenge yet, but with troubling powers at play, one innocent man's life hangs in the balance.About the author: Attorney Ben Crump is listed amongst the Most Influential People of 2021 by TIME100, Ebony Magazine's Power 100 Most Influential African Americans, The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Lawyers, and the 2014 NNPA Newsmaker of the Year, and is referred to as Black America's Attorney General.
