Overview

In the town of Middleton, a man is dead. His name was Maxwell Attison, an innocent caught in the path of reckless violence, misjudgment, and silence. What follows is the most consequential trial the town has seen in twenty-four years, one that will test not only the guilt of the accused, but the limits of the justice system itself. The Canary Sung follows veteran prosecutor Hampton as he navigates a case fractured by lies, privilege, media spectacle, and human weakness. Three defendants stand at the center; each claiming innocence, fear, or regret. Each telling a story shaped less by truth than by survival. As testimony unfolds and evidence mounts, the courtroom becomes a battleground not for facts, but for perception. Witnesses falter, motives blur. The media feeds. And justice meant to be impartial, reveals itself as negotiable. Cold, restrained, and unflinchingly human, The Canary Sung is a courtroom drama that refuses easy answers. It asks what accountability really looks like in a system built on procedure, power, and compromise and whether justice can ever emerge clean when truth is filtered through wealth, fear, and performance. This is not a story about winning a case. It's about what's left behind when the verdict is read.

Author Information

Makitia Thompson is a multi-genre storyteller whose work blends poetic intensity with the raw honesty of documentary-style fiction. Whether writing haunting character studies, time-bending novels, or intimate poetry collections, she gravitates toward the places where emotion fractures and truth demands to be seen. Her stories often unravel the quiet ache beneath survival, the complicated weight of memory, and the beauty that emerges from brokenness. As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson explores the intersections of literature, visual art, and immersive world-building. Her oil and acrylic paintings mirror the emotional pulse of her books, creating a bridge between image and narrative that deepens the impact of her work. Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, she began writing at age eleven and has spent more than a decade shaping stories that challenge, unnerve, and invite readers to confront themselves with empathy. Across poetry and fiction, Thompson's work asks one enduring question: What does it mean to reclaim your voice after the world has tried to rewrite it?
