[Christina Abel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book went into quite a bit of detail about different cases that were worked on by the prosecutors who worked in the Attorney General's office and/or the DOJ. Out of the cases written about, I had only heard of a couple. Since I'm a sucker for history (especially criminal history) this book was right up my alley. Some of it is hard to get through, as it uses a lot of legal terminology, but I believe it's definitely worth a read!
