5.0 out of 5 stars: A Great Courtroom Thriller
Cost of Arrogance is written with all the élan and verve of a John Grisham novel. Jake Clearwater is an unforgettable character who takes us inside the halls of a fictional law school in Malibu and august California courtrooms. This is a legal thriller in the best sense: a fascinating plot with surprising twists and turns that leave the reader rooting for Jake to prevail against all odds. Lawyers and law students will love this book, as will anyone who enjoys a rollicking read about the pursuit of justice in 21st century America.
