Reader Reviews 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: What a book!!!, January 21, 2003 Reviewer: intentaccess from Boca Raton, Florida USA This is my first book read by this author. Excellent work, I was overly impressed. This book was filled with the best characters, the best developing plot and the best conclusion. A truly wonderful thriller! An innocent man is on trial for the rape and murder of a prostitute who was really an undercover cop. David Nash, a defense attorney, must put his career on the line to find the real murderer before the Innocent Man will become the Guilty Man. This author truly has talent as I normally stay away from the courtroom drama. Suspense would pop out at the simplest element. My attention got me where I could not put the book down until I had read the entire thing. The ending is not what you expect at all. Don't miss this one!
