Inhaltsangabe

"This is a unique, immersive, and brilliantly written book that I couldn't put down, even after multiple reads." —Sana Abuleil, Author, Letters to the Person I Was

Ashley Corbin, a former tennis prodigy turned prosecutor—and a single mother trying to rebuild her life—finds herself entangled in a high-profile rape case in the small town of Freeman’s Gate. When the accused, Daniel Lockhart, is acquitted, Ashley does what the system demands: she moves on.

Until the victim is arrested.

On the courthouse steps, Sheila Fanning—already failed by the justice system—is charged with procuring an illegal abortion. The timing is too precise to ignore. Driven by instinct and a deep sense of right and wrong, Ashley begins asking questions she shouldn’t.

What she learns is that Sheila isn’t the victim of an isolated injustice, but the first casualty of something far more dangerous—a system where power is protected, truth is obscured, and one life becomes collateral damage.

As the case deepens, Ashley is forced to confront her own past, her responsibilities as a mother, and the cost of standing against forces determined to silence her. With mounting pressure from those in power, she must decide how far she is willing to go—and whether justice can ever be achieved by playing within the rules.

Fast-paced and emotionally charged, The Last Rights is a gripping legal drama that explores the fragile line between law and justice, the weight of personal conviction, and the courage it takes to do what is right when the consequences are anything but certain

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Light attended both engineering and law school (apparently, unable to make up his mind). He spent three decades practicing law, including environmental, energy, contract, telecommunications, and patent law. (Do you see a pattern here?) But he yearned to be a teller of stories that both entertain and enlighten and published his first novel in 2002. The Last Rights will be his sixth published novel. When he's not traveling with his spouse, Sonya, or not writing, he is a dedicated servant to their cat, Feste. He enjoys trying Asian-inspired recipes, experimenting with his air fryer (you don't need one but it really is fun), and reading about new energy technologies (super-hot geothermal looks promising). So much to dabble in. So little time.
