Synopsis :
An ISIS attack on America is narrowly averted when the FBI uncovers a plot to detonate a weapon of mass destruction in Cowboys Stadium during the Super Bowl.
A federal grand jury indicts twenty-four co-conspirators, including the most dangerous man in Dallas, Omar al Mustafa. He is a notorious and charismatic Muslim cleric known for his incendiary anti-American diatribes on YouTube and Fox News. His mosque is a veritable breeding ground for Islamic jihadists. His arrest is greeted with cheers around the world and relief at home. The plot was thwarted, the terrorists are in jail, and the Super Bowl is safe. The president goes on national television and "We won!"
There is only one there is no evidence against Mustafa. That problem falls to the presiding judge, newly appointed U.S. District Judge A. Scott Fenney. If Mustafa is innocent, Scott must set the most dangerous man in Dallas free. But does the absence of guilt mean Mustafa is innocent? And if he is innocent, who is guilty?
The Super Bowl is just three weeks away. And the game clock is ticking.
This is what I say :
It's been a while since I pick up a title by Mark Gimenez. When I realised that there's one title that I have not read and that's The Absence of Guilt, I put aside what I have been reading to focus on this title and it was a pretty good decision.
It's good to follow A Scott Fenney's life after Accused. His story actually started in The Colors of Law which was very good.
The Absence of Guilt was rather good and thrilling. There are some parts that's rather technical and preachy so I kinda 'quick read' those section and overall I really enjoy it.
It also gives a unexpected closure on the last part of the book which is quite an 'easter egg' and that was good too.
