One you start reading Danger Road, you won't be able to stop. This book chronicles a real life tragedy, the legal aftermath of the murder of three drug dealers. If you have ever wanted to know what the REAL legal justice system is all about, this book is for you. You don't need to be a legal expert to understand what is going on in the courtroom. The author was the defense attorney in this case who explains what is happening, why it is happening, and the real world impact these proceedings have on the people's lives who were affected in this case. What I found most intriguing was the way we get to know what the attorney was thinking as the trial evolved. This is a must read for anyone who wants to know the truth about the American criminal justice system. Turn off your cell phone; you won't be able to put this book down.

I'm not a big fan of defense lawyers but John Contini is an exception. His story is a story of his failings as much as the failings of the man he defended. Both are an excellent display of God's forgiveness and redemtion in the heart of man.

You know the old saying that goes: At the bottom of the ocean are sharks, used car salesmen and attorneys? Well I'm here to gladly tell you that such saying does not apply to this guy. John Contini-the author of "Danger Road" is truly a remarkable individual and on any given day might be mistaken for a minister by trade as opposed to an attorney. The book chronicles the gripping tale of a Miami-Dade County Cop accused of a triple murder, his specific request for a Christian Defense attorney, the entire trial proceedings and what became of the accused killer when it was all said and done! As a reader, you're taught the inner workings of the judicial system as well the jurors' plight, being involved in such a weighty case as this one. This book fits all categories and is a definite recommendation on my list: future/student attorneys-checked. Veteran attorneys-also checked. Strong Biblical Christians--checked. Those who are still lost and have no knowledge that God redeems all-even those who are convicted of heinous crimes--Double check!! I am sure that taking on this trial contributed greatly to Mr. Contini's contagious faith in the Lord. May God bless him richly, and enlighten all who are lucky enough to put their hands on a copy of this book.

God Bless All.
