Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

'Picoult makes us ponder the ambiguous relationships between love
and lying, legality and morality; the strange ways repressed
memories leak into the present.' - Los Angeles Times

Intricately textured and rich with psychological and social insight, Jodi
Picoult's novels grab readers by the throat from page one and never let go.
As emotionally charged as any she has written, Nineteen Minutes is one of
her most powerful works to date.

Set in a small town in the wake of a horrific school shooting, Nineteen
Minutes features the return of two beloved Picoult characters - Jordan
McAfee, the lawyer from The Pact and Salem Falls, who once again finds
himself representing a boy who desperately needs someone on his side;
and Patrick Ducharme, the intrepid detective introduced in Perfect Match,
whose best witness is the daughter of the superior court judge assigned to
the case. As the story unfolds, layer after layer is peeled back to reveal
some hard-hitting questions about the nature of justice, the balance of
power and what it means to be different.

Nineteen Minutes is riveting, thought-provoking tale with a jaw-dropping
finale.
