Sarah Jenkins is a combat medic who brought her ghosts home from Afghanistan. She lives in her car, avoids crowds, and just wants to be left alone.
But in Meridian, Mississippi, being invisible is a crime.
When a "hero" cop shines a tactical light into her sleeping face, Sarah's PTSD kicks in. She reacts with combat reflexes. Now, she's sitting in a jail cell, charged with felony assault on a police officer, facing five years in prison.
The District Attorney calls her a violent junkie. The police department calls her a threat.
Harlin Banks calls her a client.
Harlin knows that Officer "Buzz" McKinnon isn't the hero his badge says he is. He's a predator who targets the homeless, hiding his brutality behind the Blue Wall of Silence.
But piercing that wall is impossible. The judges protect the cops, the cops protect their own, and the evidence has a way of disappearing.
To save a soldier who has been left behind, Harlin has to do the unthinkable: he has to put the police department on trial.
While Sam Rourke hunts for other victims in the city's shadows, Rosco Wheeler must pull off his most dangerous con yet-infiltrating the police precinct itself to steal the one file that can bury McKinnon.
The system is rigged. The clock is ticking. And Harlin is about to prove that even a wall of blue steel can crumble if you hit it hard enough.
Don't worry about the mule, just load the wagon.
The Public Trust returns in a heartbreaking, pulse-pounding thriller about the price of service and the corruption of power.
"Grisham meets Reacher. Blue Wall is a searing look at how the justice system treats its heroes when they break."
