Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Set in a small town in the wake of a horrific school shooting, Nineteen Minutes brings together lawyer Jordan McAfee, who represents a boy who desperately needs someone on his side, and Patrick Ducharme, the intrepid detective whose best witness is the daughter of the superior court judge assigned to the case. As the story unfolds, layer upon layer is peeled back to reveal some hard-hitting questions about the nature of justice, the balance of power, and what it means to be different.
"New superiour court judge Alex Cormier is assigned to preside over the case of the alleged Sterling High School shooter. Lawyer Jordan McAffee represents Peter--the boy who, on the day of the shooting, was found in the corner of the gymnasium holding a gun to his head with a shaky hand. Detective Patrick DuCharme has one star witness, but her story keeps changing. And then there's the biggest problem of all--the star witness happens to be Judge Cormier's daughter."--From container.
