I thought I'd written a review about this book several years ago but maybe not. I have to say it was one of the best non-fiction books that I've had the pleasure to read. It shows how a small town Associate Judge from southern Illlinois can go to Chicago and take a big bite of corruption and the big boys in the Justice system. Grant it, nothing changes in Chicago and even though Lockwood's efforts are to be highly commended, since he was risking his own life to uncover the corruption in the court system and law enforcement, he told it like it was and got the FBI's attention. To be honest, I couldn't put the book down.

I have to say that I was a little confused about the review by Cindy Mitchell, then I realized that Cindy was upset with the book seller from whom the book was ordered, not the story itself. This is very confusing because most people take it that she's giving the story only a one star, which is not the case at all. I doubt Cindy even read the book. Regardless, I'm an avid reader and I'm giving Operation Greylord a five star rating because it deserves just that. It's history in the making.

I was NOT satisfied with the appearance of the book. The condition was very worn. I paid almost full price for this book, so expected it to be in better condition instead of battered condition. The book was personlized with a message to first recipient. I would not have purchased this book had I known this.
I kept the book only because I needed it for Christmas gift. I gave the book and apologized for its condition.
Very dissatisfied with the condition of the book.
This book should have sold for 5.00 at the most at a used book store. VERY disappointed.
