THE HERO RULE
IS IT JUSTICE ... OR MURDER?
(Barclay Griffith Book 1)
What if doing the right thing meant doing a very bad thing? Prepare to Enter a World Where Morality Dances on a Razor’s Edge.
It’s after midnight and Duncan Pheiffer sits alone in a darkened courtroom in Towne, Alabama, the weight of a verdict—a potential death sentence—hangs heavy, casting a long shadow over his solitary vigil. Amidst a sea of clients both guilty and damned, one figure stands apart: Charlie Calvin Clements. Duncan’s conviction in Clements’ innocence ignites a relentless battle against the odds, an unwavering resolve to untangle truth from deceit.
As the aftermath of the jury’s pronouncement lingers, the possibility of redemption shatters, leaving unanswered questions: was it a chance act of brutality or a sinister design veiled in obscurity?
When prosecutor Barclay Griffith inserts himself into the case, he soon raises questions that defy the accepted narrative about Clements’ conviction—a conviction that investigators prefer to remain undisturbed.
Guided by the Hero Rule, where right prevails over self, Barclay enters a labyrinth of lies and deception. He soon finds that following his own moral code is about to become more difficult than he ever imagined as, the boundary between innocence and guilt blurs, weaving a complex narrative that challenges his very beliefs. As layers of secrets unravel, a metamorphosis unfolds—a noble prosecutor, driven to unveil truth, evolves into a relentless pursuer of justice.
But this time, justice takes on a whole new dimension.
What makes a hero? Is it doing the right thing…at any cost? Barclay Griffith is about to find out the hard way.
