in conversation with Sierra Crane Murdoch

In Silver State, Urza—a writer, criminal defense attorney, and professor—crafts a haunting and thought-provoking legal thriller that redefines the genre. When a public defender receives a letter from a client on death row, he’s forced to reexamine his role in a murder case that has haunted him for years. As the past resurfaces, Silver State explores the blurred lines between guilt and innocence, justice and failure, love and loss.
Gabriel Urza is a writer, attorney, and professor from Reno, Nevada, now based in Hood River, Oregon. He teaches fiction in the MFA program at Portland State University and is the author of the novel All That Followed and the story collection The White Death: An Illusion.
