Sinopsis
They needed a culprit. She was an easy target.
An ordinary morning at the U.S. Supreme Court turns into a national nightmare when all nine Justices are found dead. The unthinkable crime sends shockwaves through Washington, ignites a political firestorm, and leaves the nation demanding answers.
For Anna Lee, a sixty-seven-year-old Asian American employee who has served the Supreme Court for years, the nightmare is only beginning. After serving the Justices their usual morning beverages, Anna becomes the prime suspect in their murders. The evidence seems damning, the public wants someone held accountable, and the authorities are under enormous pressure to deliver a conviction. In a climate of fear and prejudice, Anna appears to be just the person they can blame.
But Anna is innocent. Isn't she?
She is assigned defense attorney John Lowe, who must earn Anna's trust and build her case-all while holding some doubt of her innocence himself. Together, they must expose the cracks in an investigation where the rush to find a culprit mattered more than the pursuit of truth.
Beneath the sensational headlines and political maneuvering lies a troubling question:
What if the very system entrusted with upholding justice, fails the people it is supposed to protect?
With a compelling mystery, courtroom drama, and an unflinching look at power, prejudice, and the consequences of unchecked authority, Supreme Justice-Pearls of Bitterness explores how to endure injustice without becoming consumed by bitterness.
