THE HOLDOUT. by Graham Moore ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 18, A woman finds herself playing multiple roles—juror, attorney, investigator, and suspect—in this legal drama–meets–murder investigation set in Los Angeles. Maya Seale, a white, bilingual transplant from New Mexico, is both a year-old criminal defense attorney and a year-old juror in a novel that jumps between two storylines, one set in and one in Graham Moore's latest book, The Holdout, is a pretty great legal thriller, one which I could totally see becoming a movie. Ten years ago the trial rocked the country. A black teacher was on trial for murdering his white teenage student, the daughter of a prominent real estate developer in LA. I loved The Holdout, in which author Graham Moore does the impossible, creating a page-turning legal thriller with a twisty and absolutely riveting plot, as well as raising profound and thought-provoking questions about the jury system and modern justice. All that, plus a strong and compelling female heroine in lawyer Maya Seale, whom you’ll root for as the tables turn against her and she finds herself behind bars, with everything on the line.
