All in all, it is a terrific read that is absolutely true but reads like the best of crime fiction.. It is a fascinating account of people at their best and at their very worst. The reader will meet the prosecutors, (the "white hats) the defense attorney's, (the black hats) as well as the cops, the detectives and the bad men and blood spillers that plague our society. The book is not bereft of humor, with the reader being introduced to the court hangers on who are present in various incarnations in every jurisdiction in the country. The authour recounts some of the many cases that he tried and a few that were tried by other prosecutors.

Made me laugh out loud! I worked with the Author during some of these timesHe made me laugh then, and reading his book makes me laugh now and then it makes me cry.

Sadly, he died before we got a chance to read the book and tha. The old times are still really good. J. Haran Lowe, Jr. I had known the author for many years both as a friend and a lawyer. I thoroughly enjoyed the book because he was telling stories that involved many of my friends over the years. It was very refreshing to read and remember those times.
