Grady Harp Literary AficiandoWhat readers are saying about this exciting crime thriller: A brilliant courtroom drama that focuses on relevant issues of racism prejudice & police brutality and explores them in a thoughtful way. Jane R.An excellent book once I got started I could not put it down. I got so involved I shouted out in the heat of the courtroom battles several times. Gordon Cooper Ive read from critics and readers alike that hes the next John Grisham. I happen to be a John Grisham fan myself especially when hes on a soapbox due to one social injustice or another. What sets Eade apart from Grisham is although his books all have a backdrop of current social issues he doesnt get on the soapbox. Instead he lays out his case like diamonds in a jewelry case and says have a look for yourself. In my opinion Kenneth Eade is a better writer than most lawyers turned authors including Grisham and the material is meticulously covered. George S. StoneA fun and imaginative story that has kept me excited reading it until the very end. Betty K.
