Book Details

The FBI on Trial in a Sensational Case

Charismatic, ambitious attorney Larry Strong gets the chance of a lifetime when he is appointed to defend career criminal Rocky Hamilton, who agreed to resume criminal activities in a notorious gang of bank robbers for the FBI. It seemed like a good deal for Rocky, who would otherwise have spent the rest of his life in prison. But when the young bank manager, Jamie MacDonald, is kidnapped and murdered, Rocky stands accused of aggravated murder. It’s up to the defense to prove to the jury that Rocky acted at the direction of the FBI—even if calling out the government puts Larry in danger. Fast-paced, character-driven, and expertly written, The Snitch is a fascinating examination of the gray areas between right and wrong, and a shocking exposé of corruption.
