The story was about a lawyer defending a homeless vet who wouldn't speak at all, just enough to incriminate himself in a murder he didn't commit. The judge in the story was a prick, as was the prosecution, if that's how the justice system is managed I'd think the prisons are full of innocent people because there didn't seem to be any justice in this story at all.
The lawyer was forced to do his own investigating with help from friends and colleagues FOR FREE. This included the mafia, an old bombing in another country and countless killings. I found the courtroom stuff sort of interesting in that I would never want to be involved.
So the more that is dug out about Mafia, hits, killings etc, the more he's attracted to a female who he knows very little about and she was met at a bar with 2 goons after her. Sort of a set up.
There was, I think personally, a lot of repetition, a lot of off-track stuff, some confusing areas for the reader but I liked it enough that I'd buy it because it takes awhile to get thru and isn't an easy story line. A bit different. Apparently he was one of the James Patterson helping writers I guess Patterson starts up a story outline and hands that to a newbie writer to give them a chance at having a name on a cover with him then they get famous and write their own books.
