Bullying, High School Shooting, Gun Violence – New Legal Thriller Tackles Current Social Justice Issues
S For Story/10431960
Inspired by true events, award-winning author Mark M. Bello delivers chilling new social justice legal thriller, "Betrayal High," the fifth in his courtroom drama series.
DETROIT - s4story -- Betrayal High, is the latest novel in the Zachary Blake Legal Thriller series by Mark M. Bello. In the story, an affluent Detroit area suburb becomes the home of the latest tragic school shooting as one young teen is pushed over the edge from relentless bullying. With easy access to the weapons in his father's gun cabinet, Kevin decides it is time for the bullying to end. In the aftermath of the violence, the community is left with more questions than answers as trial lawyer Zachary Blake seeks justice for the victims, including his own son. Attorney, Social Justice Advocate and Award-Winning Author, Mark M. Bello takes readers deep inside the story behind the story of a school shooting, posing tough questions for consideration about bullying, gun control and the legal system.
The Zachary Blake Legal Thriller series is based on contemporary, real-life issues, and the inspiration behind Betrayal High comes from an all-too-common occurrence. "My niece and nephew live in the Parkland School District and I have an apartment in nearby Delray Beach. I was in Florida when Parkland happened. While the book is not based on the Parkland incident, the shooting hit too close to home and I began to consider these cases. What are the root causes? How does a kid get these high-octane weapons? Where was security? How does a community cope? How would the legal system respond? I began to research the issue and the result is Betrayal High."
