1964 Justice, Mississippi, is a town divided. When attorney Coop Lindsay agrees to defend a black man accused of murdering a white teenager, the bribes and death threats don't intimidate him. As he prepares for the case of a lifetime, the young lawyer knows that innocent or guilty, he will no longer welcome in Justice.
2014 To some, the result of the trial still feels like a fresh wound even 50 years later, when Coop's grandson arrives in Justice seeking answers to the questions unresolved by the trial that changed his family's legacy. When a new case is presented, again pitting white against black, this third generation Lindsay may have the opportunity he needs to right the wrongs of the past.

A small, traditional Mississippi town, ironically named Justice, in 1964. A young black man with a clean record and a promising future is accused of killing a young white debutante. There can be no doubt as to the outcome of the trial...until a young attorney from a well-respected family in Justice agrees to take the defendant's case, risking family, friends, and reputation by doing so. Reminiscent of the classic "To Kill a Mockingbird" and yet quite capable of standing on its own, this novel provides its own well-developed characters and plot line. Although there were a few predictable scenarios, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading other works by this author.Product details

The Color of Justice (Audible Audio Edition) Ace Collins Charlie Thurston LLC Dreamscape Media Books Reviews
The Color of Justice is By The Book’s February selection, and preliminary polls indicate this one will get two thumbs up! Ace Collins has long been a favorite of mine. He writes thought-provoking fiction that is no less entertaining. And his latest novel is my favorite by far.
Justice, Mississippi in 1964 is a segregated small town where blacks and whites know their place. When a horrible murder disturbs the peace, the ugliness that is exposed is not just the crime. A young black man is accused and the controlling white population is ready to try, convict and mete out justice even before a trial takes place. But Cooper “Coop” Lindsey confronts his own prejudices and the words of his minister father and takes on the highly controversial case. What results is a page-turning, legal suspense novel that explores more than the legal and cultural atmosphere of the South in the 60s. It causes the reader to examine what he truly believes and is willing to live out.
The Color of Justice is two stories in one. The majority of the action takes place during the summer of 1964. Collins has masterfully brought the life and times of that volatile period of the South into clear perspective. No punches are pulled in its description of the reality of life for both blacks and whites during that era. The fear of speaking out and standing for what is right is palatable as is the hate hidden from direct view, but real all the same. I came to love and care about the characters in this novel and literally gasped when that story concluded. Coop’s grandson returns to Justice in 2014 to get the answers he needs and ends up in the middle of a mystery and court case of his own. Long buried secrets are exposed and provide the characters and the reader the closure they need. A strong message of faith is threaded throughout the book, and I loved how Collins used Coop’s minister father’s message of the Good Samaritan to influence his son long after his death.
The Color of Justice is certainly going to be on my Best of The Best list this year. Great for book club discussions, I highly recommend it.
Highly Recommended.
Great for Book Clubs.
Audience older teens to adults.
This book will keep you on edge and guessing until the very end. It has many twists and turns and suspense. It has strong characters and storyline. This book is well written and an excellent book to read.
I love lawyer books and this one was worth the read. How awesome to spend one half the book on one generation and the 2nd half another generation. While I enjoyed trying to figure where the author was going, I have to admit he surprised me again and again. Great novel.
When Coop Lindsay takes a case in 1964, he manages to gather the parts needed to clear his client, but both he and his client mysteriously disappear just as the case is closed. They are never seen again. Fifty years later, another Coop Lindsay comes to the town of Justice MS, finding an altogether different racial situation, facilitated mostly by his grandfather Coop. But mystery still abounds for young Coop to solve and lay to rest old hates and prejudices. I gave a rare (for me) five star rating in spite of some editing errors. The story was just that good.
First let me say, I liked the first half of this book. The first case, the first trial. I was intrigued and I enjoyed the characters. But when it moved on to the grandson's generation I was confused. There had been no prep to tell me of the two men gone missing, no further backstory a family which had gone on to support his character. I feel as though that story would have been a better one to read. I would have enjoyed knowing more about this time in between. The second case was not as captivating. It was poorly developed and simple. I found myself skipping pages to get to the end result. The love story? Ridiculous. Absolutely terrible.
This book was beyond well written. It was clear, easy to follow, and had great character development. It managed to address issues of race that span a 50 year period and tie it all together to show changes in the racial atmosphere while still pointing out race problems that still exist today. It was also suspenseful. The only thing I didn't like was the author's use of common nouns in place of proper nouns in some places. I would recommend this book to everyone-it should be required reading for ALL high school and college students.
I was intrigued by the summary preview as it seemed like an interesting premise for a good read, but too many stereotypes and leaps of faith required, I had higher expectations than were realized by the end. This was my first Ace Collins novel, and while I can see where his more devout fans appreciate his ability to create and develop a story with interesting and deep characters, I found the overall work to be lacking too much to be more enthusiastic
