What Are Readers Saying?

More than a page-turner

Whenever I see a new book is a “true story”, I think “YAWN time!” because true stories tend to move slowly. Not THIS one! From the first paragraph on, a tense series of events happen as a war between good and evil emerges …making this a truly riveting read. Adding to my faster heartbeat was the fact that I was witnessing the brief window of time in our history when wiretapping others was ruled legal. This book is entertaining, instructive and uplifting like few I’ve read. I could see a copy of it belonging in every law school and college psych department, but also in every coffee and barber shop. What’s true is that THIS is one interesting read!
