Snap!
A good read about aggravating things piling up to the point where one loses control land strikes back in rage.

Capital Punishment is well-written. You can feel the emotions of Attorney Mike Mitchell as each event in this day pushes him further in a downward spiral. Makes you wonder if it can happen in "real life". The only reason I gave the book 4 stars is I wish it had been longer.
