If you want a book loaded with action, interesting characters, and very fast-paced get yourself a copy of And Justice For One. You'll be glued to the edge of your seat throughput the whole book!

I purchased this book in 1995 in a drugstore. It is the best action novel I have ever read! I have looked in vain for another action novel of the same caliber for years. I have now read this book 3 times over the last few years and I never grow tired of it. Devlin is what every man wishes he could be. If you are looking for high art this is not the book for you! If you are looking for a double fisted, .45 caliber, ride of a novel, this is it.

John Clarkson has it all - terrific prose, interesting characters, intricate plotting and all the action I could handle in one novel.I am now off to read the rest of his novels!!!

I picked up "And Justice for One" on a whim. I couldn't put it down to save my soul. What an incredible debut for a thriller writer! Clarkson's first is also his best: the two sequels aren't in the same class. But he has proven himself a master of the revenge thriller, the best since Mickey Spillane scorched the eyes and sensibilities of '50's readers with "I, The Jury." As a lover of great thriller writing from Andrew Vachss to Jack Higgins, Alistair Maclean to Desmond Bagley, I have to add John Clarkson to their ranks. This is right up there with other great, though underrated thrillers, such as Alfred Coppel's "Show Me a Hero," Anthony Hyde's "The Red Fox," and Gerald Seymour's "In Honor Bound," and Wilbur Smith's "Hungry As the Sea" -- all of them among the most exciting action thrillers ever penned. I only hope Clarkson can regain the form that produced this stunning story in his next outing.

having read all of Mr. Clarkson's book as well as hundreds of other action dramas I'd rate him right up there with anyone. Well written, hot, furious, and fun. It's a one day read, PERIOD!!!

Three books I've read by John Clarkson are the best action thrillers you can find in English. I read about one action/thriller/suspense book a week but haven't read anything better than this. Fast-paced, realistic, great characters, good story - they have it all.

I,ve read all of his books ,can't wait for next one. Action packed,cannot put down . What I like most of his books are that thay don't jump around, the theme stays constant,. Quick pure escapism.

A woman cannot help but love the character of Jack Devlin. The action pack and romance mixed with intrigue has made me want to read more of Clarkson's books. When I start reading these novels I can't put them down

All three of his books are the best action novels out there. Period. My heart never beat like it did reading any other novel. I don't know how clarkson does it, I guess some writers excel in certain areas and Mr. Clarkson has a gift for writing action. In this review, what I say about this book applies to all of his books. So I won't single out any one, they're all,,,, great ! His books are pure heat. I know it's a cliche to say ' I couldn't put it down ' but there's no other way to describe how you feel when you read them. I'd tell myself, ok, just one more chapter and then I'll go to bed. Well, 3 or 4 chapters later, I have to force myself to stop. It's such a rush ! Ok, onto serious analysis. The plot is strong, the tension builds with a major climax at the end, the characters are deep and real, especially Jack Devlin, you care about the charecters, the pace is as good as it can get - Damn Fast !, man, all three of his books are superbly written. Read all three, you'll be hooked ! when's the next one ? I neeeeeeed it.... michael

Love action thriller, folks? Then please read this one, and you won't regret! There is only one thing that I'd like to remind Mr. Clarkson: Don't let Devlin to mix up in a mass battleground with automatic weaponry, because it sucks! If Mr. Clarkson's 2nd and 3rd books could be like this first and the best one, allowing Devlin to use his wits and martial art technique to do the jobs, instead of using sub-machine gun or grenades, it would be more fun. Once the hero could only solve the problem by automatic weapon and made the shoot-to-kill wipeout become the only choice, it would kill the whole thing
