A partner at a prominent law firm is forced to choose between his enviable lifestyle and doing the right thing.

A Good Read
Reviewed by Cedric from Pretoria, South Africa on 11 January 2013
The Color of Law is a very good read. Is it an auto-biography, I wondered? Is it an expose? Whatever it is, I'm definitely going to be reading some more of Mark Gimenez's books
