When she receives what could be the offer of a lifetime - unlimited access to do a movie about four young men who claim they were wrongly convicted in the brutal attack of a female runner in New York City - she also knows there's one gigantic catch: the prosecutor in the case was her brother, Michael, who is now the Manhattan district attorney. But the convicted men are represented by Rolando Ortega, the best lawyer in the city, and she takes the job because she fears that any other filmmaker will turn the project into a hatchet job. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen she digs into the case, Sheila uncovers angles and developments that turn its circumstances even murkier. The attack left the victim with permanent damage, but the woman has carved a life for herself, and the new uproar threatens to upend everything she's achieved. Meanwhile, Michael's role as the lead prosecutor becomes the overriding issue in his campaign to win a full term as district attorney. With the election drawing near, and the list of suspects growing longer, Sheila races against time to secure a measure of justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSPECIAL VICTIM is the explosive sequel to Tom Coffey's widely praised PUBLIC MORALS, which examined the dynamics of a family that was shattered by a police corruption scandal. In SPECIAL VICTIM, which is loosely based on the Central Park Jogger case, Coffey dives even deeper into questions of love, truth and loyalty, and of how the past is always present in our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 322\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.72 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 19, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50410899407085,"sku":"9781685128142","price":20.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-ca\/products\/special-victim-the-devine-trilogy-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
