Chapter 1 (1st Book)
The children screamed, and Bess Johnson’s eyes were disks of uncomprehending glass, her fists clenched ineffectively about a steerless wheel in a van careening leftward across the country road. Doretta Anchrum Buckled in the front passenger seat and gasped as a powerful and inertial force threw her to the side, while behind her young Katyna Johnson desperately reached forward and grabbed Anchrum’s seat, hugging it and peering with helpless horror around the side. Behind the driver, Sarena Miller dropped a new pink dress from the fingers of her small hands and screamed all the more, her face the dark shadow of a child’s terrifying nightmare, as though her four-year-old eyes had fixed upon a life-snatching demon. Jimason Anchrum, in the rear center, shrieked and flung one hand wildly in search of something more substantial than the corded piping of the seat cover he grabbed with the other. The van seemed drawn swiftly and almost magnetically to a large tree off the shoulder on the opposite side of the road.
A thunderous sound and a seismic shock reverberated in the van as Bess Johnson’s face and body slammed against the steering wheel, bounced back against her seat, hit the steering wheel again, then crumpled onto the floorboard area, and Sarena became a small human missile launched head-on into an impossibly small wedge of space between the front door and front seat, a space from which she did not bounce back. Jimason found daylight between the two front seats but struck the center console with massive force as his young body hurtled frontward and fell limp. Katyna took a compression jolt against the front seat she clung to, and she was then thrown backward. It had all happened in a matter of six fate-determinative seconds in the rural countryside of South Carolina.

Ted Born and a young untested associate were called upon to defend a tough-seemingly impossible- lawsuit in one of the most challenging country courts in the United States. The facts looked bad: our client was a tire manufacturer of a tire that blew out, followed by a vehicular crash resulting in a child’s death, a brain injury for another child, and other serious injuries. The dead and injured were all African American residents of a country where juries were all or mostly African Americans, with a history of rendering verdicts in generally millions of dollars in favor of local residents against big-out-state corporations, even in minor cases. The case leads them through a labyrinth of mystery and intrigue they could not have imagined, with a conclusion rocking all precedents.
This is a work of fiction exploring the actions and imagined. the mental process of fictional characters whose minds and interactions are lade bare as the story unfolds. The result is tense and high-octane drama, reason enough to offer it in the pages. But there is more. The story explosively confronts the meaning of justice in the context of right and wrong., corporate and personal responsibilities laid, sympathy and objectivity, racial relations, and our judicial system as a means of resolving countervailing positions with their heavy emotional baggage.
