I really enjoyed this book - it's a courtroom suspense/mysetry. If you like John Grisham, you'll probably like this one. The author wrote Presumed Innocent (movie made with Harrison Ford). I enjoyed that book also. This one was good suspense, not too easy to figure out, made you want to keep reading.

Adrive-by shooting in Kindle County's drug-plagued housing project. The victim is an aging white woman and her son, a probation officer is charged with the crim. Judge Sonia (Sonny) Klonsky (from Burden of Proof) presides at the trial. There are lots of flash backs to her college years as the defense attorney and a reporter used to be her friends in college.

This book is missing the dust cover.

A little long and there are a lot of character with their own subplots. I had a little trouble with the ebonics but it was a pretty good read.

Great courtroom thriller about a drive-by shooting in a drug-plagued housing project. The explosive case reunits a group of men and women who bonded in the revolutionary fires of the 1960's.
