review 1: If you like a courtroom drama book and I do, this one is superb. Written in the style of a John Grisham book it is really quite a page turner. Set in the south and around Alabama and Bear Bryant and his words of wisdom to all those students who were fortunate enough to be a part of his world it is worthy of reading. It is illegal thriller and it's not really about football but there is a correlation.
review 2: I purchased this book on my new GR friend Chuck's recommendation and I'm glad I did; think "Rocky" for old white guys in their sixties (which group I include myself in - BTW). Let's face it folks, old white guys are not exactly media darlings these days which made "The Professor" such a charismatic lead in this tightly written, well paced legal thriller... more. A 40 year law professor who wrote the definitive book on evidence in Alabama and played on the legendary football coach "Bear" Bryant's 1961 National Championship team as a student, is betrayed and forced out by a Dean who wants a "younger" staff. Battling bladder cancer, Tom struggles to get things together enough to win an actual trial of a lawsuit involving the death of a family at the hands of a speeding trucker hauling gasoline and represented by the same attorney who befriended Tom, then betrayed him to the University board. This is a debut thriller by a very talented writer who I sincerely hope spends less time in the courtroom and more time on his laptop writing sequels to this outstanding first novel. .....Ed less
