Product Description
by Charles X. Cook (Author)
In a federal courtroom where truth bends and loyalty costs lives, Charles Cook faces the fight of his life. The government's case against him is collapsing-but so is the safety net he thought he had. Every ally is compromised, every witness silenced, and the only person left to defend him is the one man he never trusted to speak-himself.
Haunted by a past the system used to define him-the boy who stuttered, the slow learner, the ex-con turned community leader-Charles must stand before twelve strangers and reclaim the voice that once trembled in fear. From the smoke-tinted cars of undercover agents to the quiet confessions of betrayal, Not This Time unfolds as a raw, unflinching look at the power of truth when everything else is stripped away.
This isn't just a courtroom drama-it's a testimony.
A man once buried by the system now stands to expose it.
AND THIS TIME, HE REFUSES TO BE SILENCED.
