In Bradley’s debut novel, Breach of Trust, the director of Savannah’s crime victim assistance program is thrown into a tailspin when her young male employee accuses their boss, the district attorney, of sexual harassment.
Should Anne remain quiet to keep the career she loves? Or should she publicly accuse him in order to deter him from victimizing others? Can Anne be sued for defamation? And if she loses her job, will she also lose her home? To further complicate matters, the district attorney was her friend before he became top prosecutor.
The harassment allegation—along with evidence that the DA’s corruption may have enabled a young mother’s murder—dredges up painful memories from Anne’s past, causes friction in her marriage, and propels her into a moral crisis.
