Redemption

Personne n'a remué ciel et terre pour défendre Rufus Harms, soldat noir accusé du meurtre d'une fillette blanche, incarcéré depuis vingt-cinq ans à la prison militaire de Fort Jackson. Et pour cause... Un jour, des preuves resurgies de l'oubli projettent un nouvel éclairage sur l'affaire et menacent de compromettre des personnages très haut placés : c'est ce que comprend le jeune et brillant greffier Michael Fiske lorsque celles-ci arrivent sur son bureau, à la Cour suprême. Quand son corps est retrouvé dans une ruelle mal famée de Washington, son frère, John -ancien flic devenu avocat-, ne croit pas à la thèse du crime crapuleux avancée par l'enquête de police. Assisté de la séduisante Sara Evans, collègue et amie de la victime, John va remonter le fil jusqu'à Harms. Mais son intention de déterrer le passé ne plaît pas à tout le monde : une course-poursuite s'engage alors, qui laisse quelques cadavres sur le bas-côté, et bien des questions en souffrance. Rufus serait-il innocent ? Lorsque les plus viles machinations se mêlent de tisser le destin d'un homme, la vérité n'est jamais aussi simple. Sacré nouveau maître du suspense aux Etats-Unis, Baldacci torpille ici la façade d'une vénérable institution et s'introduit par effraction dans les antichambres du pouvoir pour y traquer les abus d'une justice raciste et corrompue.

As the web of deceit is revealed, it quickly becomes apparent that there's much more to this case than they had first thought. It is an investigation where nothing is as it seems, and nothing can be taken at face value. When Puller and Cole discover a dangerous situation in the making, Puller finds he must turn to the one person who can help avert certain catastrophe. A person he has known all his life. In a breathtaking rollercoaster race against time, Cole fears for the community in which she was raised, and Puller knows he has to overcome the enemies of his country to avoid far reaching disaster. But in the end, you can't kill what you can't see is coming .
