The Second Wrong
by Mr. Michael P. Andrews
A compelling legal thriller exploring justice, evidence, and the consequences of a case that took a deeply wrong turn.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The first time Adrian Rook went to prison, he was innocent.
Thirty-six months later, he has lost his home, his livelihood, and years with his son. When his conviction for child sexual abuse is finally overturned, the court gives him his freedom. It gives him nowhere to sleep.
In a small North Carolina town, Adrian carries proof of his innocence in a plastic envelope and everything else in a battered bag. He tries to find work. He tries to be a father. He tries to stop imagining what it would take to make Celia Marr understand what she helped do to him.
Celia still has a house. Still has people willing to listen. Still tells a story Adrian knows is false.
Then restraint gives way.
Two shots leave Celia alive, permanently injured, and certain of the man responsible. For once, her accusation is true.
As Adrian faces another trial, his defense lawyer confronts a witness whose history may destroy her credibility—and a client whose earlier innocence cannot answer for what he has done now.
Once, a lie was enough to take his life apart. Will the truth be enough to put him away?
