Legal thriller
does not really describe this book.
There is anguished soul searching, perverse sex and brutal murders set
in an economically challenged city.
Stella Marz is an
assistant prosecutor in the city of Steelton
which was loosely based on Cleveland . Stella spends a great deal of time concerned about her past and what it
has taken to get to her current
position. Her boss is running for mayor
and if successful she may have the opportunity
to be the chief prosecutor. How
much of her integrity and morality will have to be sacrificed for her to reach
her goals? That is the question that
provides her searing soul searching throughout the book.
Gritty inter-city
crime and big city graft are the setting of the book. The author seems to see that reaching any
type of success in this type of environment necessitates an extremely flexible
moral fiber.
Soul searching
trumps action but there is action and
some very touching emotional scenes.
I highly recommend the book.
