Blood on Their Hands

By Bob Brink

Book Overview

In the pivotal year 2008, a seemingly innocuous Obama bumper sticker on Alec Monceau's car draws him into a terrifying ordeal of a savage police assault and an unjust charge of violently resisting arrest. Monceau is eking out a living as a computer salesman, striving to support his daughter's family in Trinidad.

Across town, seasoned attorney Hiram Garbuncle balances his prideful criminal defense practice with an unquenchable thirst for money and liquor, supplemented by sports and sex.

Garbuncle, an avowed alcoholic and cynic, finds himself torn between his miserly instincts and a compelling pro bono case. His certainty of a triumphant defense makes him reckless, leading to a mistrial. But when he unearths damning evidence against the police officers, his mission mutates: It's no longer just about winning a case; it's about ensuring survival for himself and his client, while a new trial looms.

Blood on Their Hands forges a mesmerizing narrative from suspense and thrills, sharp twists and comic relief, and riveting courtroom drama. Amid the intense action sequences and scenes intimating lust, humor rises like a benevolent phoenix, lightening the deep pathos of a tragic love story.

This tale teems with vibrant characters, piquant dialogue, mesmerizing twists and turns, and a wrenching moral dilemma, delivering a message that resonates in our time.

But at its heart, "Blood on Their Hands" is a transformative journey-a poignant saga of redemption against all odds. Prepare to be enthralled, amused, and deeply moved by this extraordinary novel.
