Worse than a Lie

Wrote a review for

This is a fantastic legal thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. On the historic night of President Obama’s first election, four white Chicago police officers repeatedly shot a 53-year-old Black Metra police officer during a traffic stop.

Fortunately, Hollis Montrose survived the encounter, but the CPD still has plans for him. They want him to spend the rest of his life in prison. The CPD throws him in jail, and the judge sets an unreasonable bail.

We also meet Hollis’s attorney, Beau Lee Cooper. He’s a civil rights attorney who is determined to help. Can Cooper, his best friend Nelson “Nellie” Rivers, and Brent “Cape” Capers convince a jury that not everything is as it seems?

I loved the twists and turns in this one, and the suspense kept me glued to the pages. This is my second legal thriller of the year, the first being Judge Stone, and I have fallen in love with the genre.
