"This is a unique, immersive, and brilliantly written book that I couldn't put down, even after multiple reads." -Sana Abuleil, Author, Letters to the Person I Was Ashley Corbin, a former tennis prodigy turned prosecutor, finds herself entangled in a high-profile rape case in the small town of Freeman's Gate. After the rapist, Daniel Lockhart, is acquitted by a jury, the victim, Sheila Fanning, having lost the protection of the rape exception in the abortion law, is arrested on the courthouse steps for having procured an illegal abortion. Sensing something suspicious in the timing of Sheila's arrest, Ashley asks questions she shouldn't, inadvertently lifting the curtain on an insidious scheme instigated by the governor of the state to rip away the last rights of women to control their reproductive decisions. Ashley's quest culminates in a final violent confrontation, one that forces her to accept that justice isn't always achieved by following the rules. A timely novel, The Last Rights is a legal thriller that delves into the complexities of justice, personal trauma, and societal morality.
Autorenporträt
Light attended both engineering and law school (apparently, unable to make up his mind). He spent three decades practicing law, including environmental, energy, contract, telecommunications, and patent law. (Do you see a pattern here?) But he yearned to be a teller of stories that both entertain and enlighten and published his first novel in 2002. The Last Rights will be his sixth published novel. When he's not traveling with his spouse, Sonya, or not writing, he is a dedicated servant to their cat, Feste. He enjoys trying Asian-inspired recipes, experimenting with his air fryer (you don't need one but it really is fun), and reading about new energy technologies (super-hot geothermal looks promising). So much to dabble in. So little time.
