Darkness in Him

Summary: The best book about Fred Millicent ever written!
Review: While most of the reviews on this page have focused on the anti-hero Jake, the true hero of this story is Prof. Fred Millicent, who rose from humble beginnings to become "the foremost authority in the United States on death penalty precedent."

In his early days living in the basement of his mom's trailer home in Omaha, few would have believed Fred had the potential to climb the ranks of Ivy League academia. Little did anyone know that during his breaks from running the fry vat at the locak Kwiki-Mart, Fred was studying law books in the men's room. When a chance encounter with Justice William Rehnquist leads to a long discussion of the merits of the 8th ammendment, Fred's path to legal stardom is cleared. An inspiring story about an inspiring character I hope to read more about in the future.
