State of Guilt

Alabama Law Book 2

De: Charles Throne

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

In the Deep South, guilt isn’t proven. It’s inherited.

When Montgomery defense attorney Ryan Ashcroft heads an hour down the highway to Marlow, Alabama, he believes he’s taking another pro bono case: a young landscaper accused of murdering the county’s hometown hero. But inside Marlow’s courthouse, justice isn’t blind. It’s bought.

The sheriff runs the county like a family business. The judge is on the take. The prosecutor has already been paid. The deeper Ashcroft digs, the clearer it becomes that Jaylan Washington isn’t on trial for murder. He’s the cover-up.

As storms gather and a tornado tears through the Alabama night, Ashcroft and his team race to expose a conspiracy that stretches from backroom deals to the state capital.

But in a town where truth costs lives and redemption burns slow, doing what’s right may be the last mistake he ever makes.
