Thriller

A gripping and thought-provoking legal thriller that redefines the genre—by critically acclaimed writer and criminal defense attorney, Gabriel Urza, author of All That Followed.

What if justice isn’t something the legal system is truly capable of?

The Silver State follows Santi, a law school graduate whose idealism is soon worn away by the cases and clients he’s assigned. When a young mother, Anna Weston, is brutally murdered and her body is found near Reno’s infamous silver mines, Santi and his mentor in the public defender’s office, C.J., are tasked with defending Michael Atwood, a man convicted on scant physical evidence and later sentenced to death.

Eight years later, a shocking letter from Atwood—now on death row—forces Santi to reexamine his role in the case. At the time, public obsession with Anna’s disappearance and intense pressure on the police to make an arrest led to a rushed trial. As they investigated the case Santi and C.J. became increasingly convinced they were defending an innocent man. Now, a horrific discovery leads Santi to reconsider everything he once believed, and all that it has cost him—love, family, and friendship.

The Silver State brings to vivid life the deals that get cut in the name of justice, the murkiness between victim and perpetrator, and the cost of a life in the law. Turning the legal thriller on its head, Urza tells an electrifying, emotionally charged tale of systemic failure and moral ambiguity that asks us: What if justice is a myth? For readers of Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent and Bryan Stevenson's Just Mercy.

“A propulsive, hallucinatory, urgent novel. This book will haunt you." —Sierra Crane Murdoch, author of Yellow Bird
