Perry Joshua - Seraphim - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Two young lawyers Ben and Boris arrive in the New Orleans public defender's office determined to represent those most in peril: kids who are to be prosecuted as adults. When 16 - year - old 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 cross - examines an unjust criminal legal system Seraphim combines the grit and realism of Richard Price's Clockers with the empathy and psychological complexity of Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union.
