Would you help a man being beaten by the police?
That’s what Luke Archer had to decide. Although it was more of a reaction than a decision.
The police officer was Lizzie Lambert’s husband. She had argued with him that morning, sending him to work with an edge.
Police accountability activist Curtis Mays happened to be filming the traffic stop. Well, filming and then heckling Officer Lambert. It started with verbal insults back and forth, but it escalated.
Luke Archer was leaving the feed store and saw the altercation. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and he found himself behind bars for his trouble. Luke’s wife, Mary, and their infant daughter were in dire straits without Luke to work the farm and to keep the bill collectors at bay.
Lizzie and the police chief and the Carville prosecutor’s office were all determined to make Luke pay for his crimes, even if it meant bending the rules.
Meanwhile, Curtis faced an internal struggle with his conscience. Indebted to a man who he’d never met, Curtis tried to fix the mess he’d created.
The town of Carville was decidedly split between the Blue Lives Matter crowd and the downtrodden, who had suffered decades of excessive ticketing to support the perpetually bankrupt backwater government.
Will Luke find justice in a town run on corruption? Will a jury of Luke’s peers follow their heart or the letter of the law?
What readers are saying
“I was very impressed with the way Phil Williams handled the hot- button topics of racism, corruption in law enforcement, and domestic violence. Very well done, excellent book, I will gladly recommend Phil Williams as an author worth following.” – Les ★★★★★
“When injustice is blatantly obvious right before you, would you risk your own safety for a stranger? As with everything I’ve read from this author, what is delivered is not just an entertaining, satisfying tale but a look beneath the surface of our society. If you can finish one of his books without questions and an underlying feeling of disquiet, I think you have missed the whole story.
Often when I start one of his books I wonder how all the various storylines and characters can possibly blend into one riveting novel. But they always do, quite beautifully. If haven’t met Phil M. Williams yet, now is absolutely the best time.” – Saundra Wright ★★★★★
“Phil M. Williams has become my favorite author and this book continues his great writing style. At first I thought I might not like the book as it seemed like it was another woke book, however reading so many of Williams books already told me to stick with the book. I am so thankful that I did as it became a story of the way things should go in America.” – Jeff Launiere ★★★★★
