Synopsis

A seductive young woman chooses the dangerous path of confronting the justice system and corporate power for the sake of her children, her passion for life, and her desire to be loved.

Kelly Jensen was only six years old when she witnessed her mother's murder, for which her father was wrongfully convicted. Moved from foster home to foster home, Kelly was exposed to abuse, neglect, and human trafficking. By age fifteen she was a runaway, combining her innate intelligence with street smarts to become a chameleon capable of losing herself in every character she impersonated. Beautiful and bewitching, Kelly used her talents to become the most notorious identity thief in the country.

Ruggedly handsome defense attorney Jake Brooks finds the enigmatic Kelly Jensen irresistible despite suspecting her of murdering his best friend from law school. His obsession leads him to risk his own illustrious career in Los Angeles to see that justice is served. Kelly finds him addictive. Together, the two uncover a sordid link among immoral foster care parents, high rollers in Vegas, politicians, and the legal system itself. Kelly ultimately takes fate into her own hands behind closed doors in the gray zone.

About this title

Review

"Fearless and intense...No dramatic feature has ever come quite this close to the matter-of-fact ugliness of the Nazi crimes."

Synopsis

First realised as a play, The Grey Zone is based on historical events at Auschwitz in October 1944, and the only armed revolt by prisoners assigned to work in the crematoria. This book is a definitive record of Nelson's journey, from his initial readings and research, assembling a brave cast that could tackle the material, to reconstructing the crematoria on location in Bulgaria, and his work with the art director, costume and production designers, and others on his team.
