The novel's protagonist, Jake Brigance, is a small-town defense attorney who is appointed to represent a young black man accused of murdering two white men. The case is a high-profile one, and it quickly becomes clear that Brigance is outmatched by the prosecution's team of experienced attorneys. However, Brigance is determined to give his client the best possible defense, and he begins to investigate the case on his own.

As Brigance digs deeper into the case, he uncovers evidence that suggests that the prosecution is withholding evidence that could exonerate his client. Brigance confronts the prosecutor, but the prosecutor refuses to turn over the evidence. Brigance is left with no choice but to take the case to trial.

The trial is a tense and dramatic affair, and Brigance's client's life hangs in the balance. Brigance presents a strong defense, but the prosecution's case is equally strong. The jury is deadlocked, and the judge declares a mistrial.

Brigance is determined to win his client's freedom, and he appeals the case to the state supreme court. The supreme court rules in Brigance's favor, and his client is finally exonerated. However, the victory is bittersweet, as Brigance knows that the justice system is flawed and that there are many other innocent people who are languishing in prison.

Flash Points is a well-written and suspenseful legal thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end. McGarvey does an excellent job of creating complex and believable characters, and he provides a fascinating look at the inner workings of the justice system. Flash Points is a must-read for fans of legal thrillers and anyone who is interested in the issues of corruption, ambition, and justice.
