William Bernhardt continues to impress me with how he increases the depth of his stories with each book. Naked Justice is tight, exciting, and delicately weaves a complex tapestry of violence, family, racism, power politics, teen angst, motherly protection, father/son issues and so much more. Ben Kinkaid is really growing in expertise both in the courtroom and with his nephew Joey. We see even farther into the psyche of this excellent attorney and emotionally challenged individual and, with each glimpse, we understand and like him more. NIcely drawn subplots and tasty red herrings in this one, keep the reader guessing. The excellent conclusion ties multiple strands together at just the right time. I look forward to reading these books in the same way I look forward to a long visit with a good friend. Rewarding at multiple levels. I am ready for the next in the series. I know that I'm way behind many of Bernhardt's fans, but it just means I'II have more new joys in store.
