Richard North Patterson (b. 1947, in Berkeley, California) is an American fiction writer, attorney and political commentator. He was the SEC liaison to the Watergate special prosecutor and has served on the boards of several Washington advocacy groups. He has written 23 legal thrillers, of which TRIAL is his most recent, and 2 non-fiction books. In a propulsive narrative that culminates in a nationally televised murder case, TRIAL explores America’s most incendiary flashpoints of race. A Black eighteen-year-old voting rights worker, Malcolm Hill, is stopped by a white sheriff’s deputy on a dark country road in rural Georgia. His single mother, Allie, America’s leading voting rights advocate, restlessly awaits his return before police inform her that Malcolm has been arrested for murder. In Washington D.C., the rising, young, white congressman Chase Brevard of Massachusetts is watching the morning news with his girlfriend, only to find his life transformed in a single moment by the appearance of Malcolm’s photograph. Suddenly all three are enveloped in a media firestorm that threatens their lives—especially Malcolm’s.
