Format:Mass Market Paperback
Very easy to read. One doesn't have to be a lawyer to understand this staggering novel. Chapters are very short and scenic. Characters are lovingly crafted. It's like reading a movie. "Cindy" and "Gina" represent everything polemic about friendship. The final sentence (no pun intended) of this novel justifies it's title. And that's cool.

This book is really intriguating. The author leads you
though the story, slightly revealing the path to truth.
Very good work on the paradox of law: the innocent condamned
and the guilty free. A good buy.

I started reading this book, assuming it was going to be very dry and Courtroom based, and possibly not a book I would enjoy. How wrong I was!!! It gripped me from the beginning and was an excellent thriller, which grabbed me and dragged me along with it, every step of the way. It twisted and turned away from the Court and the charachterisation was excellent. I am now looking forward to reading my next Jack Swyteck installment and am hoping it brings the same pleasure.
