" One of his better ones... fast-paced quick read.. "
" I enjoyed reading this book, but it certainly wasn't anything extraordinary. I did enjoy it enough that I will probably read more of Ed Eagle. "
" The title comes from the expertise of an Indian lawyer who "rules" in his powers as a defense legislator. The unraveling of symptoms of a murder case, an extortion case and multiple personalities kept me entranced. But just about everything by Stuart Woods does that. "
" An amateurly written piece of fluff, but once I started it, I finished it. I don't particularly want to read anything else by Stuart Woods. "
" Standard Stuart Woods fare - with almost not editing errors which is highly unusual for him lol "
" This fast-paced book is the literary equivalent of a television program: entertaining, but not memorable in any way. I'd hoped that it would offer more local colour on Santa Fe, but it was really all about the plot. "
" New character - Ed Eagle, of the Ashkenazi tribe. Typical Stewart Woods - everyone's way to nice, even the bad guys. However, keeps you reading. Good tales. "
