A Hate Crime in Brooklyn by David Secular
We’re thrilled to introduce our September Book of the Month: A Hate Crime in Brooklyn by David Secular.
The trial is a rollercoaster of surprises, penned by an author intimately familiar with the courtroom. Can Sofia escape conviction for the racially motivated crime which has polarized New York?
You’re Booked
Welcome to You’re Booked – bringing the very best of Harrogate International Festivals to your digital doorstep.
