Christy Awardwinning novelist and lawyer Singer (Directed Verdict) lets the
action sprint out of the gate with a murder in the first few pages. With
murderer and victim dead, the moral issue of gun control takes center stage
in the book, with a number of side dilemmas. The opposing counsels in the
gun control case are young, ambitious lawyers, and both have hidden sins
that could sink their careers. A law firm that both worked for further
complicates the action. Singer piles the moral and plot complexities a bit
too high; the backstories of main characters Jason Noble and Kelly Starling
are relevant, but the tangled relationship between Jason and his cop father
bogs down the action. The legal-thriller genre lends itself to the pattern
of conversion that evangelical Christian novels require, and Singer offers
logical character developments that aren't heavy-handed. The only stock
feature in this well-plotted novel is the generic, fakey-sounding names (
Brad Carson, Kelly Starling). But that's a quibble about a book that will
entertain readers and make them thinkwhat more can one ask?
