Über diesen Titel

 In this gripping thriller, truth and justice are called into question when a Black man is gunned down in cold blood—the first novel in a riveting series from renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump.

“A sensationally good crime and legal thriller . . . This is exactly what a book should be.”—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of the Reacher series

It’s the night of November 4, 2008. America’s first Black president has just been elected. And fifty-three-year-old Hollis Montrose—a Black ex–police officer from the suburbs of Chicago—has become the latest victim of a brutal attack. As the result of a traffic stop gone wrong, Hollis is shot ten times in cold blood, by four white men who could have been his colleagues back in his police days.

Beau Lee Cooper was born serious, as if on an urgent mission with little time to waste. Raised in the tumultuous world of 1970s Texas, he always dreamed of becoming a lawyer and fighting for what’s right, ever since he was a little boy reading To Kill a Mockingbird. And now, ten years into running his own law firm with his best friend and partner in crime, Nelson “Nellie” Rivers, and his suave right-hand-man, Brent “Cape” Capers, he feels he’s finally making a difference. When Beau Lee learns about Hollis’s situation, he’s determined to help.

Miraculously, Hollis survives the encounter, but the Chicago police department has already spun the narrative in its favor, and Hollis is given a wrongful prison sentence with an unreasonable bail. What really happened that night the car was pulled over? Was it random or was Hollis targeted? Beau Lee knows he’s treading in dangerous waters, and finding evidence of the truth will be his biggest challenge yet, but with troubling powers at play, one innocent man’s life hangs in the balance.

“A sensationally good crime and legal thriller—and also a really important document . . . Half the time you’re breathless with suspense, and the other half breathless with fury. This is exactly what a book should be.”—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of the Reacher series

“Legendary civil rights attorney Ben Crump’s debut novel Worse Than a Lie is a great, gritty legal thriller set in Chicago. It grabs you from beginning to end.”—Don Cheadle, award-winning actor, director, and producer

“A legal thriller in the tradition of A Few Good Men, The Rainmaker, and The Lincoln Lawyer—but with a kind of flavor that audiences will love and that is uniquely Crump’s own.”—Will Packer, New York Times bestselling author and award-winning Hollywood producer

“Worse than a Lie presents a new superhero lawyer that's different from anything the legal thriller genre has ever seen.”—Sunny Hostin, New York Times bestselling author and award-winning television host of The View
