Here's an especially good legal procedural with a uniquely realized protagonist. The plot features particularly flawed, yet still warmly likeable, characters and a twist at the end to leave the reader thinking. Some interesting peeks at the New York City justice system, with several insights that aren't offered in the usual novel. I'm looking forward to more from this intriguing author.

Can't remember how I got turned onto this book, but I'm glad I was. I really enjoyed this. The characters are strongly written and humanly flawed, and the ending didn't disappoint as they so often do. The author really knows his procedures for murder trials (not surprising since he's a lawyer) but it all is structured to work against the hero and his client. There's no easy out and no sense that the author cheated, so I'll be reading more from Mr. Teller.
