Description
Can justice prevail in a city torn by hate?
When Sofia Hushemi, a sheltered, Albanian immigrant, carelessly collides with Sylvester Stanley on her way home from Prospect Park, both escape injury. But upon discovering the loss of a previous ring, gifted to her by her brother-in-law, Victor, the feared kingpin of the Albanian Mafia, she frantically presumes Stanley, a black man, was not a jogger, but a culprit.
Hours after the ring is lost, Sylvester is attacked in broad daylight by Victor's henchmen but it is Sofia, not Victor, who faces life behind bars for allegedly ordering the attack. The trial is a rollercoaster of surprises, penned by an author intimately familiar with the courtroom. Can Sofia escape conviction for the racially motivated crime which has polarized New York?
Gripping, thought-provoking and moving, A Hate Crime in Brooklyn, is much more than a story of yet another presumptuous attempt to kill a Black man solely because of the color of his skin. It is a tale of understanding and forgiveness for our troubled times and an unforgettable love story evolves which will mesmerize and delight readers of all ages.
