A no-nonsense American legal thriller. From the first page you know exactly how this book is going to progress, and you're not disappointed. Karen Mondori is hired to defend a local Mafia connected drugs-boss-with-a-heart-of-gold. When he was around you could leave your doors unlocked at night, he was hard but fair, and never hurt nobody but other villains. Anyway our local drugs lord, whose business seems to have rather annoyed the FBI, is getting 'imperfect justice' [Gosh, see how it all fits in!- Ed].
The book is about Mondori getting a fair hearing from a corrupt system. The story, however silly, works only because Mondori is portrayed as a 100% real hero and everyone in authority as villains through-and-through. There are points in the book that make you want to cheer, and you easily forget the deep moral dilemma which I'm sure Arnold wants you to consider. Imperfect Justice reminded me of the Saturday morning pictures I attended as a kid; it's about as many hours entertainment, and equal in intellect. Not a bad book, but don't expect too much.
