Malice and personal ambition clash tragically in this thought-provoking courtroom thriller.
Fourteen-year-old Bobby Jessup's violent history was no secret among the professionals who worked with troubled children in his town. Most of them had chosen, for their own reasons, to ignore young Bobby's dark, dangerous potential.
Now, he had brutalized and raped a young child, and these very professionals would confront their own weaknesses, fears, failures, and opportunistic desires. Before Bobby could be brought to justice, careers would tumble, reputations would be destroyed, and an innocent family would be torn apart forever.
What Bobby did to his victim was horrible. What happened in court, though, was a crime.
Writer and forensic psychologist Richard Helms (author of Joker Poker and Voodoo That You Do) draws on his extensive courtroom experience and his national recognition as an expert in sex crimes to deliver a taut, gripping, deeply thought-provoking courtroom drama in his thrilling new novel, Bobby J.
Genre: Mystery
