Although this is an exciting, fast-paced read, I found the plot thoroughly unbelievable, especially the kangaroo court. I don't think they'd have gotten away with it in the real world.

FANTASTIC ENDING
When Jack comes home from law school, he?s told that his brother, Peter, is dead. The authorities were saying he drowned, either accidentally or by suicide. Jack knew that there was no way that could have happened, and sets out to get the truth. What he finds, is that the police won?t talk to anyone, even witnesses, and that someone hired ?the Fixer? to make sure nobody talked. Jack starts doing his own investigation, but at the hearing, with an attorney that only the rich and famous could afford, and witnesses too scared to tell the truth, it was determined that Peter drowned. He knew that his brother was murdered and would prove it somehow, but the odds and a powerful millionaire were against him. This is a moving story about the love of a family that won?t give up. The mystery and investigation will keep you glued to the pages and I guarantee that when you get near the ending, you will not be able to stop reading until you?ve finished the last page.

Good
This book is pretty good, it has a nice storyline, but it's not your usual Patterson book if you are a big fan of his Alex Cross series like I am. This book is definately worth reading but be prepared for something different.
