Criminal Justice
Dan Galindo, hero of Barbara Parker's fourth novel,Criminal Justiceis living proof of the maxim "nice guys finish last." Once a federal prosecutor  in Miami, Galindo lost his job when he refused to put a dubious witness on the stand and  thus let a drug lord walk. Now he is in private practice, defending a beautiful rock star on  minor charges. But before you can say "Book him, Dano," Galindo finds  himself up to his neck in a labyrinthine world of drugs, crooked cops, laundered money,  and murder.Parker handles this latest tale of the seamy underbelly of the law with cool elan.  Her  rendering of the South Florida landscape is authentic, and the characters who slither  through it are convincing, which putsCriminal Justiceat the head of its class.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
