4.0

This is a cleverly constructed book. This is my second reading as I wanted to re-read before I read the follow up (set 10 years later). The book jumps between a lead up to and a trial in the current day and the complicated adolescence of the lawyer in the criminal trial. It's a good read that has really tense and really touching moments.
