Mr. Methos recently was awarded a Mystery Writers of America Certificate of Nomination for this novel. After reading it, I can see why. If I had more time, I would've been able to finish this book in a day, two at the most.
Danielle "Dani" Rollins, a lawyer with an affinity for booze, took on the case of Theodore "Teddy" Thorne, a mentally challenged soon-to-be 18-year-old young man. Teddy was accused of selling cocaine to a confidential informant. Was he capable of formulating the plan? Follow Dani through a few other cases (and beers) as she tries to figure out what is really going on with Teddy's case. She discovers what's really happening and decides to fight against the system. Does she win?
It is unfortunate that things like this really happen in this day and age.
I highly recommend this book and I look forward to reading more from Mr. Methos who, as it turns out, is a practicing lawyer in Utah. Well done, Mr. Methos!
