| Plot Summary of Diary of an Exploding Judge |
|---|
"Imagine being a public defender then one day, finding yourself needing one. Katarzina Gwiazda, called Star, is literally fighting for her life after being accused of blowing up a judge. She learns who her true friends are as well as which colleges are trustworthy. Once arrested, Star receives no special treatment. To the contrary, she now gaines firsthand experience like those of her mistreated clients. Proving her own innocence unmasks the corruption that disguises itself in blue. "
