A good, solid read

I won't go into the storyline - you can read about that above. Just one thing: Don't listen to the critics. This is truely a good book.

a great read!

The atmosphere the authors created swept me back in time to the places and experiences of my youth in Illinois. Justice for None vividly and accurately describes post-World War I Mid-America and combines it with suspense to make a powerful novel. I was totally absorbed by this book and enjoyed it thoroughly.
