A note for parents
The Brass Verdict is an adult crime thriller centered on murder investigations, courtroom drama, and detective work. While not graphically violent, it contains multiple murders, threats, and danger that drive the plot. The book includes moderate profanity and adult content typical of the crime genre, making it appropriate for mature teens and adults rather than younger readers. The protagonists—a defense attorney and a homicide detective—model persistence, integrity, and collaboration despite personal flaws.
