True to life—and a great read.” Glenn Easley“Choice of Evils is another clever fun read by Morley Swingle. Drew me in almost immediately and I had trouble putting it down.” Doug Sidel“What a great read! Morley Swingle clearly knows his way around the criminal justice system.

I took my time with it and immediately wanted the next one.” Litbydom“Quality writing by an author who knows what he’s talking about.” KB Books
