Title: Successful crossover from non-fiction to fiction.
Review: Previously known for his legal essays, Carter now proves he is one of those rare breed of storytellers who can write an intelligent mystery without resorting to gross-out details of autopsy reports or true-crime gore. The characters in this writer's first work of fiction are true to life, full of passion, cynicism and biting social commentary. When a conservative black judge is found dead, everyone assumes it was a heart attack. But when the judge's son, conservative law professor Misha Garland, receives strange messages and notices someone following him, he's not so sure. Carter ends each chapter with enough crumbs to keep you turning the pages for more clues, but keeps you guessing until the very end. Well done!
