Book Overview

by Richard North Patterson (Author)

Trial confirms Richard North Patterson's place as "our most important author of popular fiction."


In a propulsive narrative that culminates in a nationally televised murder case, Trial explores America's most incendiary flashpoints of race.


A Black eighteen-year-old voting rights worker, Malcolm Hill, is stopped by a white sheriff's deputy on a dark country road in rural Georgia. His single mother, Allie, America's leading voting rights advocate, restlessly awaits his return before police inform her that Malcolm has been arrested for murder. In Washington D.C., the rising, young, white congressman Chase Brevard of Massachusetts is watching the morning news with his girlfriend, only to find his life transformed in a single moment by the appearance of Malcolm's photograph. Suddenly all three are enveloped in a media firestorm that threatens their lives-especially Malcolm's.
