Rating: Summary: Good as Grisham Review: Will Alexander is a successful criminal attorney and partner in a prestigious firm in Sante Fe. However, it is all coming apart at the seams as his alcoholism and womanizing causes his partners/friends to cut him loose. Down and out, Will is contacted to represent four outlaw bikers accused of an especially gruesome murder that has rocked this smallish western town. The town wants revenge, and quick, ruining anyone who is involved with the bikers.Meanwhile, Will's ex-wife has accepted a job in Seattle and is taking his 10-year old daughter and center of his life (except for the bottle) with her. Now Will is in a fight to turn around his life, remain a part of his daughter's life, and prevent his clients from losing their lives. The story continues at a good pace, especially the many twists and turns in the courtroom. Having read all of Grisham's books, and becoming increasingly frustrated and disenchanted with them, I recommend Freedman as a good alternative for those fans of the courtroom drama.
