Superb Read,
By "drabinovitz2" (Boston Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Plea Bargain (Hardcover)
For anyone who has ever spent any time in Chicago, or for anyone who has ever practiced criminal law, this book is a must read. Through Darcy Cole, Axelrood takes you from the Greak diners on the Northside where coppers eat for free, to the back offices of the Cook County State's Attorney's Grand Jury, to the diamond trade down in the loop. Along the way, a cop's career and a lawyer's marriage are saved, and of course, justice is served.

A worthy sequel,

This review is from: Plea Bargain (Hardcover)
This second novel from Mr. Axelrood is a worthy follow-up to his first, "The Advocate," about the personal and jurisprudential lives of his protagonist, Darcy Cole. As with that book, I found myself caught up from page one in the plot twists and the Chicago "justice" system machinations -- in which things and people rarely wind up as we first suspect. As a former Cook County prosecutor and current defense attorney in that same jurisdiction, it's a safe bet that Mr. Axelrood knows whereof he speaks when writing of the Chicago system, both its positives and negatives. Recommended strongly for fans of police and/or legal procedurals.
