ACCLAIM FOR JUSTICE MAKES A KILLING

“The novel’s plot is enjoyably complex, referencing contemporary issues that go beyond schools and prisons…. The classic courtroom drama at the heart of this story is perfectly orchestrated, and the seemingly impossible odds make Earl’s masterful handling of evidence, witnesses, opposing counsel, the jury, and the judge wonderfully satisfying to read. Rucker has a knack for explaining the minutiae of legal procedure clearly as he weaves them into the story…. A thoroughly enjoyable page-turner.”
