Author Talk: Debbie Babitt, First Victim (Zoom)

Author Debbie Babitt will to talk about her new legal thriller “First Victim,” which is a perfect pick for beach and summer vacation reading.

“First Victim” is about the Honorable Alice D. McKerrity, a judge who is deeply affected by a trial in which a defendant is charged with the murder of a pregnant woman. As the trial progresses, Alice’s life starts to unravel. Almost at the breaking point, she begins to doubt her own sanity. Confronted with the unspeakable, she must face a decades-buried truth as she fights for her survival against a cunning adversary that forces her to question everything she ever believed about herself…and tests her limits as a woman, a judge, and a mother. First Victim is a suspenseful tale of guilt, justice, and long-awaited retribution.
