A Certain Justice

Much of this book was depressing because it show how easily a potential hero can be turned into someone many people want dead by our wonderful trial by media. Innocent until proven guilty is a nice concept, but when everyone assumes you are guilty, it doesn't take much to convict you.

Things were getting so bad that it seemed that nothing would be able to make this story end well - it was truly hopeless. It would have been a miracle to even think the hero would live to get a fair trial.

Fortunately, this was only a book, not the real world, so of course, the miracle comes through in a most unexpected way.

Kevin Shea was just hanging out at a bar having a beer. The next thing he knew he was in the middle of a mob trying to help the victim of a modern-day lynching. And then the whole city of San Francisco was after him for killing the victim and starting the riot. John Lescroart tells this story with a credibility that makes your spine tingle. False accusations scare all of us and they should.

This is either part of the Dismas Hardy series or part of a separate Abe Glitsky series, depending on your source. I really enjoyed this book. Hardy hardly appears in it at all, so you really get to know Abe Glitsky. The "fugitives" are also very likable characters.

I mostly had it figured out by the end (which I don't mind), but I forgot that I already knew about one of the twists from later books.

Predictable. Part of the problem was I just wasn't in the mood for this.

Abe Glitsky

Unrealistisches Szenario, das nicht spannend gestrickt wird. Man hätte was daraus machen können, der Autor hat es aber nicht hinbekommen.
