"This was probably the first book of fiction I read. It has been many years. Great book, crime mystery kept you on the edge. You think you know how is doing the deed, but you don't. There was some talk about a movie and Jamie Foxx playing the lead, that would be a grave mistake."

" Who is killing off unrepentent killers of civil right activists ? The Professor, a student, someone that was involved in the civil rights movement, or a twisted serial killer ? Thought provoking look at "what is justice?". "

" not as gripping as I thought it'd be. No real climax. It annoyed me that all the charaters were referred to by their last names. Subject matter was intriguing. "
