Color of Justice

by J. Leon Pridgen II

An intriguing story about half-brothers who reunite in the legal justice system—one as a prosecuting attorney and the other on Death Row—and a race against time for the young prosecutor to save his older brother’s life.

At the age of one, James is adopted by his paternal grandparents, who raise him as their own son, never telling him about his older half-brother or his real parents. Six-year-old Warren—James’s brother—is left to his own devices.

Twenty-seven years later, James is flourishing as a prosecuting attorney until an event leads him to discover his older half-brother. Warren is now on Death Row, two weeks away from execution for the rape and murder of a white woman. He is innocent, but can James do anything to save his brother’s life before it’s too late?

I have been waiting to read this since 2010 or 2011 and now I am getting ready to take a bit...Yumm
If you haven't read this one it is a MUST read for those bookies who enjoy a great story, wonderful characters and an ending that tugs at your heart.

What we do in this world will always meet us in the end...find out where Warren and James end and beginning is...

As a freelance reviewer I review books for several agents, publishers, authors and websites. Any book I review for a website the review belongs to them. See this review and many others posted at:

Great read. I couldn't put it down.

This is more of an action thriller than a legal thriller. My copy of the paperback had page 293 following 290, so at first I thought there was a page missing. I found pages 291 and 292 following page 293.

An intriguing book about the race and the justice system which makes the readers acknowledge their own preconceived ideas about racism in the criminal justice system.

somehow going thru boxes and found the original review book copy. I was unable to read it so I donated at the library where i work. this copy is by strebor not author's self pub copy.

I'm able to read it this round but seems like an okay read thus far. It piqued my interest further in the read and so much action/excitement happened at the end. It turned out to be a better than okay read in the long run, thank goodness, I continued reading to get the good ending.

I thought this was a excellent written novel about the tale of two brothers. Each went into different paths. Death brings about secret tales that changes lives. Unconditional love of family and friends see us through. I could not put it down..
