I've always loved legal thrillers, and lately, there's been a wide range of authors to choose from for this genre.  This is the first that I've read one of James Hankins, and I'm now encouraged to check out his other works.The story's got such a hold on me that when I got stuck in an unusually heavy Monday morning traffic today, I pulled my Kindle out and read while driving at a pace of an inch per minute.  I almost finished it, but I had to stop when I got past the bottleneck.On the writing style, I already said part of it - couldn't put it down....Though I wonder why there had to be too many chapters - what would have sufficed as a just another paragraph became a chapter division.  On the story itself - I am wondering until now how Charlie was able to come up with his bluff story like he did, without any knowledge yet on what was supposed to be on the tape, and without getting hold of his brother's letter where all the crucial information were.  If it was explained somewhere in the novel, then I have missed it.  Though this is one important part that I believe should have been laid out well, the lesson of the story more than compensates:  love between brothers and the importance of integrity.It was a good read overall, and again, I will definitely read more from this author.
