BOOK REPORT TUESDAY

I will be doing a weekly feature here called Book Report Tuesday. I'll feature a book I have recently read and reviewed at my book blog, Just Books.

"Dismissed with Prejudice" by Fletcher Cockrell
Product Description(Amazon.com)
Dismissed with Prejudice is a legal drama that deals with the dark side of a powerful university, major college sports and state government. At the urging of a wealthy businessman and booster with mafia ties, an assistant coach is fired under false pretenses. Landon Duhon, a smalltown lawyer, reads about it in the paper and becomes suspicious. It's the third assistant in the last seven years fired by the same multi-million-dollar head coach, a political schmoozer and philanderer. Duhon sends his colleague to investigate and slowly uncovers layer upon layer of fraud, corruption and backroom deals. The assistant's career is over regardless of the outcome, but he decides to sue for wrongful termination, setting in motion a legal battle that escalates into threats, violence and murder. The novel is a classic "little guy against the system" story with insight into the bureaucracy, legal environment, and corrupting influence of money in the university and political arena.

MY THOUGHTS: Sometimes bogged down with too much info this book was a little slow at times. But once over that hurdle it moved right along. Full of suspense and mystery, you will follow Landon Duhon through the trial with all the ups and downs of getting ready for the trial. What he finds is shocking as well as a surprise to me. It makes you think this could really happen. Very interesting book full of mystery and suspense.

MY RATING: 4
