Summary
A girl dies one late, rainy night a few feet from the back door of her home. The girl, Abeba was born in Ethiopia. Her adoptive parents, Delvin and Betsy Harvey, conservative, white fundamentalist Christians are charged with her murder. Royal, a Seattle criminal attorney in the last days of his long career, takes Betsy Harvey's case. An octogenarian without a driver's license, he leans on his son -- the novel's narrator -- as he prepares for trial. So begins The Final Case, a bracing, astute, and deeply affecting examination of justice and injustice -- and familial love
