    Habeas Corpus Delicti In the shadowy corridors of justice, where power and privilege collide, defense attorney James Stratton reigns supreme. Known for his razor-sharp intellect and unyielding determination, James has made a name defending the indefensible—criminals who walk free on technicalities and legal maneuvering. But when a series of gruesome murders begin targeting defense attorneys, his mastery of the system becomes his greatest liability. Each victim is discovered in a church, their body posed beneath the Scales of Justice and a note pinned to their chest declaring: “Verdict: Guilty.” For James, it’s business as usual—until he receives a cryptic letter: “Your verdict is coming.” At first dismissing it as a crank’s threat, James’s confidence begins to falter as the body count rises, and a chilling pattern emerges. As he delves deeper into the mystery, James is forced to confront his own past, particularly a high-profile case where justice may have been traded for a courtroom victory. With the help of Sarah Blake, his morally conflicted associate, and a weary detective who doubts James’s innocence, the trio unravels a web of vengeance rooted in betrayal and loss. The killer’s obsession with justice reveals a dangerous paradox: is this a crusade against corruption, or the work of a deranged mind exacting revenge? As the killer closes in, James must confront the harsh truths about his career, his choices, and the lives left shattered in his wake. Habeas Corpus Delicti is a gripping thriller that explores the fragile line between justice and vengeance, forcing readers to question the true cost of defending the guilty—and whether redemption is ever truly possible.

    "An absorbing, thought-provoking, emotionally engaging, and deftly scripted multi-generational historical novel."–Midwest Book Review 
    "Bend, Don't Break is a powerful, evocative novel that honors the resilience of Black women throughout history...Brown has crafted a novel that does not just recount history—it breathes life into it, making it feel immediate, urgent, and deeply personal."—Seattle Book Review 
    Timely and unforgettable, Bend, Don't Break spans two centuries of American history and is a captivating testament to women's ambition and the unbreakable bond between Black mothers and their daughters. 
    Drawing strength from their ancestor, Aisha, a slave born free on the west coast of Africa, four Black women will do whatever is necessary to succeed—and will do even more to protect their daughters. Aisha's granddaughter, Dinah, a plantation slave, fends off the advances of the master's son and vows to prevent the same mistreatment of her daughter, Sarah. During the Harlem Renaissance, Augusta, an aspiring teacher, falls in love for the first time. Her mother, Julia, is determined to prevent her from getting hurt. Attorney Olivia and her news producer daughter, Nicole, both seek success and equality in the white man's world of 1980s corporate life. And in the present day, Sha, a tech company chief information officer, turns amateur detective after her daughter's assault. 
    Throughout the generations, these women encounter similar challenges but face them in different ways and survive and thrive through all of it, because they bend but do not break. They demonstrate that although generational trauma can be passed down like an inheritance, so, too, can healing and resilience.
