Miles Davis always marched to his own beat in contemporary music, and he was always inspired by new and younger musicians. He reveals a lot of fascinating details about the recording sessions and tours he did over the years, and the musicians he played with. Miles had a public persona, so it is interesting to hear about his private life from his perspective. Miles' language is a little rough at times, but out of respect Troupe chooses to leave his words uncensored, like his music. This is not the typical Robin Cook thriller, where the story is usually centered around a realistic sounding medical issue.
Abduction is more social in it's plot and it's actually a science fiction novel.
The action takes off when a minisub and some divers encounter what appears to be an active underwater volcano and from that point on they find themselves in way over their heads so to speak. Be prepared for some startling and profound concepts when you read this book. Presumed Innocent - Scott Turow I loved the fascinating characters in this courtroom drama, presented through the eyes of the defendant, a deputy prosecuting attorney being tried for the murder of a colleague. Turow, a lawyer himself, obviously knows the details of how a case is brought to trial, from the police investigations to the meetings with the lawyers, and how personalities can influence the outcome. Like all good mysteries, this one has plot twists and red herrings.
