Just when I thought that I was reading another predictable novel, I was taken on an action packed ride, with surprising twists and turns." ~ Susan Quinn. From the AuthorThis book, although fictional, attempts to examine the duality of the American justice system, its strengths and weaknesses, and the interplay between it and raw ambition. It attempts to show the reader that juries are unpredictable and what you think as a trial lawyer is a slam dunk, may be a bust and vice versa. You never know what is going on in a juror's mind. All you can do is guess and hope for the best. The courtroom becomes a casino and Justice a myth.My novel, Blood Money, is admittedly cynical--a disturbing depiction of a system gone wrong and a young man's determination to fix it.Although Nick Ceratto is flawed like all of us, and is greedy like most of us, he is finally able to understand the bigger picture and remember the oath taken and the dream which was once so clear. I hope that you enjoy the journey through the justice system and that you come away wiser for the read.
