Crime of Privilege by Walter Walker (Ballantine, May 2013)
A young woman is raped in Palm Beach after an evening of
college students drinking and partying.
A young woman is killed on a golf course in Cape Cod and no one is
asking too many questions. Except George
Beckett, a young attorney working for the Cape Code district attorney’s
office. Beckett feels his life since he
graduated college is more than one of patronage, he often feels he is a puppet,
his movements and decisions controlled by someone else. From a modest family, George became entangled
with the rich and privileged in college, not realizing that with the good life,
comes consequences, but he is quickly learning he does not like to be beholden
or controlled by anyone and starts searching for answers, traveling from the
Cape to Idaho to Hawaii to Costa Rica to France and back to New York, tracking
down people who should have answers but are now living with the consequences of
their silence. With little concern for
his safety, reputation or future, George knows the only way he can live with
himself is to find and reveal the truths that have escaped him, yet haunted him
for most of his adult life.
