Despite the potentially controversial subject matter -- an African-American athlete accused of rape -- Stockley has written another amiable, charming page turner. Lots of Southern atmosphere, agreeable characters, plot twists that are only semi-predictable. If I didn't fly so much, no doubt I would be reading more serious stuff (Proust? Mann? Musil? In my dreams), But there are times when only undemanding fare will do. And Stockley's a reliable fellow when the need arises. You won't read it with fevered excitement, but you won't be sorry you plucked it off the wire racks, either.

What was so great about this book? Well to me it had the one thing that most books I pick up these days don't have, character development; Characters you actually care about and want to follow and find out what happens to. This book had a story that I just couldn't put down, right until the last page!! I can't wait to read another one of his books, he has one more fan!!!

grif stockley has the pasion and ability to put together a story, that leaves nothing to be desired.after reading "probable cause",which was my first introduction to mr.stockley;i closed that last page ,feeling like there was something real and familiar about each and every character in the book.grif stockley is by far the best author ive everencountered. thank you,mr.stockley for reading enjoyment on a whole new level....steve...ft.smith,arkansas.

Easy to read, but not worth the effort. The story plods along for 350 pages with almost no action, then finally we get to the trial. But with only a couple of pages left, the jury returns a verdict with practically no explanation of how they could have arrived at it. Very disappointing.
