ACCUSATION
BUSH, CATHERINE
While in Copenhagen, Sara Wheeler, a Toronto journalist, happens upon Cirkus Mirak, a touring
Ethiopian children’s circus. She later meets and is convinced to drive the circus founder, Raymond
Renaud, through the night from Toronto to Montreal. Such chance beginnings lead to later fateful
encounters, as renowned novelist Catherine Bush artfully confronts the destructive power of allegations.
After a friend of Sara’s begins work on a documentary about the circus, unsettling charges begin to float
to the surface, disturbing tales of sexual and physical abuse at the hands of Raymond. Accounts and
anecdotes mount, denunciations fly, and while Sara strives to untangle the narrative knots and determine
what to believe, the concept of a singular “truth” becomes slippery. Her present search is simultaneously
haunted by her past. Moving between Canada, Ethiopia, and Australia, Accusation follows a network of
lives that intersect with life-altering consequence, painfully revealing that the best of intentions can still
lead to disaster. Yet from disaster spring seeds of renewal and hope.

ACCUSED
SCOTTOLINE, LISA
New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author Lisa Scottoline revolutionized crime fiction
when she introduced her all-female law firm of Rosato & Associates, thrilling readers with her twisty, fastpaced
plots and capturing their hearts with her cast of strong yet totally relatable female characters. Fans
have been clamoring for more stories with the characters they've come to know and love, so Bennie
Rosato, Mary DiNunzio, Judy Carrier, and Anne Murphy are back with all cylinders firing in Accused.
They'll face their most challenging and dangerous case ever. It begins with an astonishing request from a
thirteen-year-old prospective client. Allegra Gardner’s sister Fiona was murdered six years ago. It
seemed like an open-and-shut case: the accused, Lonnie Stall, was seen fleeing the scene; his blood
was on Fiona and her blood was on him; most damningly, Lonnie Stall pleaded guilty. But Allegra
believes Lonnie is innocent and has been wrongly imprisoned. Taking on the case seems foolhardy to
Mary DiNunzio, because the Gardner family is one of the richest and most powerful in the country and
Allegra’s parents do not believe in reopening this case. But the Rosato & Associates firm can never resist
an underdog. Was justice really served all those years ago? It will take a team of unstoppable female
lawyers, plus one thirteen-year-old genius, to find out. Accused kicks off an annual fall series featuring
the new adventures of Rosato & Associates, delivering all the emotion, action, and humor we've come to
expect from one of the best writers in the business.
