It's an interesting premise, and the authors do a good job in taking the reader through the twists and turns of the police system. However, there were enough holes to drop my rating from five stars to only four stars.
First of all, as other reviewers have mentioned, there seems to be an underlying racism in the book, beyond what is needed to make the plot work effectively. Although Pruett is a professional and educated man, his language becomes "ghetto-ized" quickly when in the company of his black billionaire friend, Louis, in a way that seems to stretch credibility. There are other examples throughout the book that added nothing to the plot but served to remind us that minorities do suffer discrimination. I don't condone racism in any manner, but I thought that the way that it was done detracted from the story.
There were quite a few typos, especially in the last quarter of the book.
Pruett seemed too naïve. It seems as if most people, if they were in a similar situation, would make a hundred copies of whatever supporting evidence existed to prove their innocence. They'd give a copy to their parents, their friends, put a copy in their safety deposit box, bury a copy in their yard, whatever. He seemed totally unprepared for prison life and not the sort of person who would have likely put himself in that position, even for professional means.
Despite the shortcomings, it was an interesting book and I enjoyed reading it. With a little fine-tuning, it could have been a five-star book.
