Then, in the summer of 2020, he’s assigned to a grotesque murder  case that brings national media focus to rural Patrick County,  Virginia—Alicia Benson, the wife of a wealthy businessman, is murdered  in her home. The accused killer, Damian Bullins, is a cunning felon with  a long history of violence, and he confesses to the police. He even  admits his guilt to Andy. But a simple typographical error and a  shocking discovery begin to complicate the state’s case, making it  possible Bullins might escape punishment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuty-bound to give his client a  thorough defense, Andy—despite his misgivings—agrees to fight for a  not-guilty verdict, a decision that will ultimately force him to make  profound, life-and-death choices, both inside and outside the courtroom.
