Legacy of Lies by Robert Bailey

A small-town attorney takes on prejudice and corruption in this powerful legal thriller.

Small-town lawyer Bocephus Haynes comes home late one night to find District Attorney General Helen Lewis waiting for him. Her ex-husband has just been killed. She&;s about to be arrested for his murder. And she wants Bo to represent her.

There&;s a lot working against them. Just before his death, Helen&;s ex-husband threatened to reveal a dark secret from her past. Bo has been in a tailspin since his wife&;s death. What&;s more, his whole life has been defined by a crime committed against his family, and he continues to face prejudice as the only African American litigator in Pulaski, Tennessee.

Bo&;s back is against the wall, and Helen resigns herself to a dismal fate&;but a stunning discovery throws everything into chaos. There&;s a chance for justice, but to achieve it, the cost might be too much for Bo to bear.
