Set in 1968 Virginia, David Baldacci’s A Calamity of Souls follows Jack Lee, a white lawyer who has never challenged racism until he defends Jerome Washington, a Black man accused of murdering a wealthy white couple. Facing overwhelming prejudice and doubting his abilities, Lee joins forces with Desiree DuBose, a determined Black attorney from Chicago devoted to justice and equality. Despite their contrasting backgrounds and uneasy alliance, the two must stand together against a powerful prosecution and the deep-rooted racism of the era. Over a decade in the making, this powerful novel blends courtroom drama with historical realism, exploring moral courage, racial injustice, and the enduring fight for true justice in a divided America.
