Your Pity, My Murder

In the fictional American city of Havenbrook, the ghost of Daniel Cross narrates his own death at the hands of police officer Frank Delaney and unnamed others. As a civil rights lawsuit unfolds, the specter watches the courtroom and the public's swelling sympathy. But through his corrosive, unreliable whispers, a darker truth emerges: the story he tells is shaped entirely by the reader's own need for a victim. This legal thriller by Scott Turow-style moral ambiguity builds a revenge so hollow, the act of reading becomes the crime.
