A Bad Name

This is a story about betrayal, an unexpected blow from the past, a love that passes the test of strength, and a fight for one's good name when the whole world seems to be against you.
In a world where reputation is built and destroyed by a single word, federal judge Elena Kuznetsova becomes a target for a ruthless and anonymous harassment campaign. A torrent of lies and slander unleashed in the depths of the internet threatens to destroy not only Kuznetsova's career but also her very identity. While artificial intelligence delivers a guilty verdict against Elena, and her loved ones have doubts, she enters a desperate struggle against an invisible enemy. Will she be able to find the puppeteer pulling the strings in this dirty game before her life is shattered to the ground?

The new gripping novel by Tatyana Ustinova and Pavel Astakhov from the author's series “Judicial Cases” is an engaging read where everyday stories intertwine with legal cases. Justice is administered by judge Elena Kuznetsova, and her family stories sometimes turn out to be more captivating than the most complicated cases.
