It had been a while that I read something from the author who mastered the art of cranking out stories based on the injustices within the justice system. John Grisham.
A guy from the south of the United States who tried his hand at being a lawyer himself who then found he was better at capturing scenes he had seen into a story and packaging them for mass consumption.
This latest installment is based in Florida, a swampland for all intents (I have been there on many occasions) but with pockets of civilization along the coasts. The story revolves around the politics of America and its treatment of the indigenous people that habited the land and how they have been sequestered in areas called reservations.
The story line works its way to show the economy run by gangs making money off the casino trade along with other illicit enterprises and a crooked judge that skims off the top in a win win deal with the wrong kind of people.
The protagonist is a single female that resembles a Nancy Drew or a more modern Kinsey Milhone except from the other coast. Her persistence and ability to work the legal system with help from a whistle blower helps turn the story in getting justice for the good guy(s) and putting away the bad apples.
A decent read.
