About No Truth Left To Tell
Product Description February 1994 Lynwood, Louisiana: Flaming crosses light up the night and terrorize the southern town. The resurgent Klan wants a new race war, and the Klansmen will start it here. As federal civil rights prosecutor Adrien Rush is about to discover, the ugly roots of the past run deep in Lynwood. For Nettie Wynn, a victim of the cross burnings and lifelong resident of the town's segregated neighborhood, the hate crimes summon frightful memories of her youth, when she witnessed white townspeople lynch a black man. Her granddaughter Nicole DuBose, a successful journalist in New York City, returns to Lynwood to care for her grandmother. Rush arrives from DC and investigates the crimes with Lee Mercer, a seasoned local FBI special agent. Their partnership is tested as they clash over how far to go to catch the racists before the violence escalates. Rush's role in the case becomes even more complicated after he falls for DuBose. When crucial evidence becomes compromised threatening to upend what should be a celebrated conviction the lines between right and wrong, black and white, collide with deadly consequences. No Truth Left to Tell is a smart legal thriller that pulls readers into a compelling courtroom drama and an illusive search for justice in a troubled community. Review Michael McAuliffe has written a terrific first novel in “No Truth Left to Tell,” a story of race, police corruption, violent extremism, and the rule of law, set in Louisiana in the mid-1990s. His storyline and writing deftness make “No Truth” a page turner. The spot-on relevance of its themes today, a generation later, somehow managed to give me perspective into the current national chaos. —Jack Shea with The Martha's Vineyard Times "Michael McAuliffe. Remember the name. A respected attorney, he is carving a new place for himself as a first time novelist of major talent. He has a skill with words to drive forward his story of race, anger and redemption as old as the country itself, and as fresh and true as the week's protests and riots; he has a gift for complex story telling that holds his readers enthralled; and a compassion for his characters that makes each so real you feel like you are living their stories with them. Michael McAuliffe is an author we hope to hear from again and again over the years." —Pamela Hill, retired senior news executive, documentaries, investigations, long form coverage, CNN and ABC News. “Hate is shockingly alive and well in America these days, but so is moral courage and a passion for justice. This is a compelling, emotionally taut first novel by an accomplished attorney. We are intrigued by the protagonist, a self-doubting white prosecutor who joins forces with a seasoned black agent who knows the sting of prejudice. They battle the Klan, police corruption, and sometimes each other, but in the process, forge a memorable alliance. Through it all, Michael McAuliffe's fresh, image-infused style makes reading a pleasure.” —Rose Styron, poet, human rights activist, and journalist "For decades, a small team of prosecutors from the Criminal Section of the Civil Rights Division has traveled across the United States investigating and prosecuting some the most heart wrenching and challenging cases in the justice system—hate crimes and police misconduct. Having been a member of this team, Michael McAuliffe gives voice to the pain felt by entire communities and the difficulties of working to uphold the rule of law when the law doesn’t always follow the rules. Though fiction, at this particular moment in America, McAuliffe’s incredible detail paints the complicated picture of justice we all can learn from." —Roy L. Austin, Jr., lawyer and former Deputy Assistant to President Barack Obama leading the White House Office of Urban Affairs, Justice, and Opportunity "McAuliffe spins a fabulous story about racism and truth. There were good guys and bad, all of whom were believable characters. I was hooked on this
