Ronnie Cohen does it again. Blood in the Street is a riveting, unflinching
continuation of Cover Story: Still Deadly After All These Years, pulling
readers even deeper into the tangled web of history, conspiracy, and
the relentless pursuit of justice. From the very first page, Cohen immerses us
in the high-stakes world of Judith Greene, a fierce and determined attorney
fighting to overturn the conviction of Sirhan Sirhan, the man accused of
assassinating Robert F. Kennedy. As Greene and her team at Justice Seekers
dig into the case, the evidence they uncover suggests something far more
sinister is at play. They aren’t just battling legal technicalities-they’re going
up against a system built to keep certain truths buried.
The beauty of Cohen’s storytelling is in the details. She doesn’t just tell us
what happens-she makes us feel it. The desperation in the courtroom, the
exhaustion of a team racing against time, the crushing weight of a verdict
that feels preordained. And then there’s Judith. Her tragic arc is one of
the most gut-wrenching I’ve read in a long time. She gives everything to
this case, believing in the power of truth, only to realize that truth alone
isn’t always enough. Her fate is devastating, but Cohen writes it with such
honesty that it never feels exploitative-just heartbreakingly real.
Beyond the gripping narrative, Blood in the Street is a bold examination
of power, propaganda, and the narratives we’ve been told to accept.
Cohen masterfully connects the dots between past and present, forcing
readers to confront the uncomfortable reality of how history is shaped,
and by whom. The parallels to today’s world-where misinformation and
manipulation run rampant-are impossible to ignore.
Few books can both entertain and challenge the way we think, but Blood in
the Street accomplishes both with remarkable finesse. It’s sharp, unsettling,
and deeply resonant. Cohen is a fearless writer, and this novel is proof of that.
