Hollowpoint Summary
| It's been a year since his daughter died, but the loss carves away at him still. Then, a case much like others crosses the desk of Assistant District Attorney Andrew Giobberti: young girl, dead from a gunshot wound, crackhead mother, very guilty looking boyfriend. Something in this ordinary if tawdry case uncovers a vast well of grief and rage in him, and it's unclear who will be the target of his urge to avenge a pointless death. |

Andy "Gio" Giobberti is a Brooklyn assistant district attorney whose life has been in a shambles since the death of his five-year-old daughter, caused by Gio's own carelessness. He now has to pull himself together to go to work on a new case -- the apparent homicide of a young African American girl who was shot point-blank while lying in her bed at home. The obvious suspect is a drug dealer, "LL," who was seen fleeing the scene. Gio is ready to put him away, despite the lack of motive or any solid evidence. But his own feelings of guilt have more to do with it than the actual merits of the case. Hollowpoint is a haunting story of character, pain, and dealing with life's tragedies.
"Andrew "Gio" Giobberti, a young Brooklyn assistant district attorney, is haunted by his role in his five-year-old daughter's death a year before; he failed to fasten her seat belt, and she was killed in a minor car accident. Abandoned by his wife, Gio wanders through drunken one-night stands and days filled with the routine prosecution of killers, rapists and narcotics dealers. But when the case of Kayla Harris -- a 14-year-old shot point-blank in her bed -- comes along, Gio can't help drawing personal parallels...." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Brooklyn and all the sights, sounds, smells, and anomie that the storied borough encompasses set the stage for this debut effort.... Reuland (himself a D.A.) has avoided writing a mere legal thriller and has instead fashioned a touching and finely written tale of one man's redemption. And while he does possess a sharp eye for the details and nuances of the legal system, he is more concerned with dramatizing the ambiguity between right and wrong and the eternal search for forgiveness in spite of human error."
