Mr. Gabriel Boutros

The Guilty Mr. Gabriel Boutros

THE GUILTY has been described as "A Brilliant Courtroom Drama." (Charles Bray, theindietribe.com)It is the story of Robert Bratt, once a high-flying defense attorney, but now haunted by doubts over his chosen profession and the violent people he represents. He is hired to defend Marlon Small, a young tough who is accused of a brutal double-slaying. The accused's mother is a devoutly religious woman who is certain that her son has been falsely accused, and looks to Bratt to save him. Despite the mother's protestations, Bratt's instincts tell him that Small's airtight alibi is too good to be true, and he is very probably guilty. But Bratt's drive to succeed, combined with his sympathy for the heartbroken mother, push him to defend the young man.-Can he continue to turn a blind eye to what his client has done, and manipulate the truth as he so often has in the past, while no longer being able to look himself in the mirror?-Loosely based on a multiple-murder that shocked Montreal in the 1990s, this riveting legal thriller pulls the reader into the inner workings of a murder trial, and reveals what one lawyer must do when he has to defend "The Guilty."
