Joshua Perry Seraphim Paperback Book

Two young lawyers, Ben and Boris, arrive in the New Orleans public defenders office determined to represent those most in peril kids who are to be prosecuted as adults. When 16yearold Robert is arrested and charged with murder, the two set about constructing his defense, with Ben taking the lead. But years of heavy cases spark a burning recklessness in Ben. He does what he believes what he knows must be done. And in his fervour to absolve Robert, Ben spins a web to bend the narrative in his favour, one in which everyone is expendable even those his young client loves most. A riveting story of loyalty and grief that crossexamines an unjust criminal legal system, Seraphim combines the grit and realism of Richard Prices Clockers with the empathy and psychological complexity of Michael Chabons The Yiddish Policemens Union. | Joshua Perry Seraphim Paperback Book
