Thoroughly Engaging

Patterson is clearly an exceptional writer. He knows all the tricks of the trade. So if you're already a fan, this short will be yet another one of your most prized possessions.

The very fact that we have the likes of Sanaa Lathan in the cast is only an added bonus. Her acting chops make the role she portrays THAT much more compelling. So give this a listen, you won't be sorry.

Action and Moral Dilemmas

James Patterson never disappoints. I loved that several characters stood by their principles against great obstacles.

But it does make one wonder - COULD there be corruption in the Supreme Court??? Let’s hope and pray not!
