We'll maintain my stance that this author does a great job of combining medical mystery and criminal law books. I feel like i'm in an episode of law and order

Great courtroom shenanigans!
Many twists & turns including jury insights! Authors brought the outcome in nicely & touched on all answered questions this reader had toward the ending. Well done.!

Best of the Three
I really enjoyed this book. The main characters were three dimensional. The plot compelling. The best part was the history of parts of the 2nd World War and the generation that fought it. If you don't read any other book of this trilogy, read this one.
