Description
Jimmie Grant was once part of a Florida biker gang with the handle of 'Night' but he and his mother were relocated to Montana under the witness protection programme after he helped the FBI in foiling an attempt on Matt Deal's life when Deal was a Florida detective.
Grant changed his name to Walter Williams and passed the Montana bar exams and is now a public defender. In the small town where Matt Deal is now sheriff, they meet again.
Walter takes on a case involving a black man accused of rape and strives to prove his innocence in the face of obstacles. In this modern-day Atticus Finch story, Walter fights for justice and morality and reveals the bigotry in small town America.
Fans of John Grisham courtroom dramas will love this book.

Person
Stephen Bentley is an award-winning author. Of his first true crime novel about Operation Julie, screenwriter and novelist, writer of 'Julie' BBC Drama, Rob Gittins, said, "The fascinating and extraordinary inside story from the man who was actually there."
Like some other authors, his life experience is broad and unconventional. He spent 30 years in the legal system, first as a detective for 15 years then as barrister plying his trade as "a wig for hire" in London and the English provinces.
He has now written over twenty books. Two of them have been optioned and in development; one as a TV drama series, and one as a drama doc.
