“Accusation”

Trust no one except Raquel Rematti.

“Accusation” by Paul Batista is ripped from the headlines and filled with true-to-life sensationalism and perceived notions of social issues. This account is from a different point of view, and while it might take a while to settle into this alternate account, as the drama evolves, every side becomes compelling. Public shaming and scorn envelop characters like a journalistic “Covid-19” plague.

When Aaron Julian reaches for the cell phone, he knows that nothing good ever comes from a call at two in the morning. He is correct; his life will never be the same. Six women have claimed that he inappropriately used his power and influence to promote their careers, hinder them, or ruin them.

Raquel Rematti is a criminal lawyer; she has a new client, and Aaron Julian will need all her cleverness and expertise. He has been accused of terrible things, but Rematti knows that accusations are easy to make, but not always the truth. If accusations were always true, there would be no need for judges, courtrooms, or juries. Evidence is what is needed, but what Rematti finds is apparent evidence, contradictory evidence, and manipulated evidence.

“Accusation” presents the “flip side” of the #MeToo movement.  The story looks at both sides of a complex issue.  Half-truths, conflicting narratives, and diverse personalities muddy the waters. I received a review copy of “Accusation” from Paul Batista and Oceanview Publishing. Things take dramatic and unexpected turns, and when it is over, it is really not.  

“Accusation” is now available in print, as an e-book, and on audio from independent bookstores, online booksellers, retail stores, public libraries, and anywhere you get your books.
