Summary
Trial confirms Richard North Patterson’s place as “our most important author of popular fiction.”
In a propulsive narrative that culminates in a nationally televised murder case, Trial explores America’s most incendiary flashpoints of race.
A Black eighteen-year-old voting rights worker, Malcolm Hill, is stopped by a white sheriff’s deputy on a dark country road in rural Georgia. His single mother, Allie, America’s leading voting rights advocate, restlessly awaits his return before police inform her that Malcolm has been arrested for murder. In Washington, D.C., the rising young white congressman Chase Brevard of Massachusetts is watching the morning news with his girlfriend, only to find his life transformed in a single moment by the appearance of Malcolm’s photograph. Suddenly all three are enveloped in a media firestorm that threatens their lives—especially Malcolm’s.

A novel depicting USA’s fractured political legal structure and divide between the North and the South.
This novel by Richard North Patterson, was well worth the nine years wait. The story highlights 2022 in Georgia and how an 18 year old black activist’s son is accused of murdering a white police officer.
Listening to this novel on audible I felt the despair for a talented, young man who was targeted for being the son of a Black Activist who registered voters on the electoral roll. For me being a Brit living in the UK found in hard to comprehend in 2022 that there are still communities that don’t have the same rights that we in the UK take for granted.
I found as usual it took me a few chapters to tune into the narrator and then I forgot about him and was transported into the story.
Richard North Patterson is my favourite USA novelist he takes a difficult subject and writes a story to showcase the political landscape. The subject is well researched and this one doesn’t disappoint. Highly Recommend.
