NIck is young,  ambitious and wants to prove he can be a successful lawyer – getting away from his family’s involvement with a Long Island based crime syndicate.   He’s in love, too.

The story has some twists and turns,  interesting although graphic in places.  It’s pretty good but not great at all.  I may be getting burned out on legal thrillers.

    They’re all written to be made into movies, aren’t they?

    • I think so – I don’t go though. I think I see the impact in more action-packed books with great visuals. You can just see the movie in your head, or you wonder how they’d do that.
