"A long overdue call for change that will be felt deeply by all its readers"

Michael P. Padden, Federal Defenders of New York

"A stunningly good debut novel . . . . Novels such as To Kill A Mockingbird and A Time To Kill set a high benchmark for the genre but A Hate Crime In Brooklyn raises it - and then some! What a great curtain raiser for a literary career." Netgalley Reviewer

"Thought-provoking tale of expectations and disappointments, prejudice and intolerance, love and forgiveness" Netgalley Reviewer

****************

Can justice prevail in a city torn by hate? The gripping debut legal thriller from US lawyer, David G. Secular

When Sofia Hushemi, a sheltered Albanian immigrant, carelessly collides with Sylvester Stanley on her way home from Prospect Park, both escape injury. Upon discovering the loss of her precious ring, gifted to her by Victor, the feared kingpin of the Albanian-American Mafia, she frantically presumes Sylvester, a Black man, was not a jogger, but a culprit. Hours later, Sylvester is attacked in broad daylight leaving Sofia facing life behind bars for allegedly ordering the attack.

The trial is a rollercoaster of surprises, penned by an author intimately familiar with the courtroom. Can Sofia escape conviction for the racially motivated crime which has polarized New York?

Gripping, thought-provoking and moving, A Hate Crime in Brooklyn, is much more than a story of yet another presumptuous attempt to kill a Black man solely because of the color of his skin. It is a tale of understanding and forgiveness for our troubled times and an unforgettable love story evolves, which will mesmerize and delight readers of all ages.
