Plot[]
There are three plots that the reader has to connect. The plots are: 1) run for election to the Georgia Senate seat vacated by his mentor due to a stroke; 2) act as defense attorney in the race murder trial of a white man accused of killing a black woman; 3) deal with gang style killings by a white supremacist group being pursued by a former police officer. All three of these plots develop and come to a head at the same time with the election, shoot-out, and conclusion of the trial.
