Passage from book: Plea bargains may grease the rails of justice, but for Jamie Brock, prosecuting criminals is not about cutting deals. In her three years as assistant DA, she's never plea-bargained a case and vows she never will. But when a powerful defense attorney is indicted for murder and devises a way to bring the entire justice system to a screeching halt, Jamie finds herself at a crossroads. One by one, prisoners begin rejecting deals. Prosecutors are overwhelmed, and felons start walking free on technicalities. To break the logjam and convict her nemesis, Jamie must violate every principle that has guided her young career. But she has little choice. To convict the devil, sometimes you have to cut a deal with one of his demons.

My overall opinion: It was a good legal suspense! The last few chapters are especially exciting. I loved the character of Jamie Brock, the main character. The book explained plea bargaining well – when I started, I had absolutely no idea what a plea bargain was, but now, I think I could explain it. J This book is one that will keep you interested, and you won’t guess the ending. I saw it compared with John Grisham; I’ve read several by him, and was disappointed by them. This one was definitely better, I think. Another draw? It’s loosely based on a real life case! If you like legal suspense, some action, excitement, and a riveting story all in one, this is a good book for you.

This book came out on March 1, 2012. You can buy it new for $13.99. ISBN: 978-1-4143-3321-2
