Summary: There's a new writer in town
Review: Move over Mr. Turow, there's a new "writer" in town.

Having read and enjoyed all of Scott Turow's works, and being a native Chicagoan, attorney and avid reader, I thought that I'd give Larry Axelrood's book a quick read. My mistake!

I found this to be an incredibly gripping novel from start to finish. Axelrood's character development was impressive, descriptive and fixating; particularly between the the "Advocate", Darcy Cole, and the "Doe" boys. Their dialogue through out the book will leave the reader anxious to find out what they'll do next, with fabulous "one-liners" that could only have come from Axelrood's personal experiences.

The book reads quickly, flows well and has twists and turns that compel the next chapter. Anyone that has lived in or visited Chicago will appreciate the scenes, landmarks and other "local elements" that Axelrood incorporates in the storyline. The finish is fabulous, unpredictable and left this reader hanging for more.

This one goes on my holiday gift list!
