A white supremacist charged with murdering a transgendered woman. A case where nobody is as they seem. A shocking 11th hour twist that changes the entire case.

Heather's back!

Heather Morrison is back in Damien's office, but this time, she's not just there to work. Her boyfriend, Beck Harrison, is accused of killing a transgendered friend of Heather's. The prosecutors are charging the murder as a hate crime. Beck insists that he's innocent. After investigating Beck's background, Damien's not so sure. Beck has a dark past of involvement with the Aryan Brotherhood. But Damien soon finds out that this case is nothing like it seems. The victim's past soon becomes the target of the investigation, as Damien finds the one key that will break this case wide open.

Did Damien solve the crime or was there somebody else that he never even thought of who might have been the culprit? A surprise witness at the 11th hour provides the clue.

Meanwhile, Connor has his own case for Damien. He's been working with underprivileged youth, trying to steer them straight and not walk the same path that he has. He presses Damien to represent Tina, who is charged with drug distribution. Damien sees many parallels between Tina's life and his own, and he can't help wanting to save her.

But can he?

With the twists and turns that you've come to expect in a Rachel Sinclair legal thriller, "The Hate Crime" is not to be missed!!!
