From the award-winning, best-selling author of Snow Falling on Cedars--a moving father-son story that is also a taut courtroom drama and a bold examination of privilege, power, and how to live a meaningful life. A girl dies one late, rainy night a few feet from the back door of her home. The girl, Abeba, was born in Ethiopia. Her adoptive parents, Delvin and Betsy Harvey--conservative, white fundamentalist Christians--are charged with her murder. Royal, a Seattle criminal attorney in the last days of his long career, takes Betsy Harvey's case. An octogenarian without a driver's license, he leans on his son--the novel's narrator--as he prepares for trial. So begins The Final Case, a bracing, astute, and deeply affecting examination of justice and injustice--and familial love. David Guterson's first courtroom drama since Snow Falling on Cedars, it is his most compelling and heartfelt novel to date.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: David GutersonPublisher: Knopf Publishing GroupPublished: 01/11/2022ISBN: 9780525521327Pages: 272Weight: 1.05lbsSize: 8.40h x 6.00w x 1.20dReview Citations: Library Journal Prepub Alert 08/01/2021 pg. 7Booklist 10/01/2021 pg. 23Publishers Weekly 10/25/2021Kirkus Reviews 11/01/2021
