Description
A gripping new thriller that exposes the dark underbelly of the garment industry. Corban Addison's latest novel weaves together courtroom drama and emotional heart, creating a spellbinding tale of exploitation and redemption. In Dhaka, Bangladesh, a devastating factory fire claims hundreds of lives, sparking outrage over labor rights and globalization. A shocking image of a teenage girl, her body broken by a multi-storey fall, becomes a rallying cry for justice. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., a former journalist receives an anonymous tip about the true extent of one of America's largest retailers' negligence. As he builds a historic case against the corporation, Joshua Griswold must confront his own demons and fight for redemption, determined to provoke a revolution of conscience that could change the course of the fashion industry forever.
