This book of investigative reporting looks at our judicial system and how the role of the prosecutor has increased over the years. Prosecutors have the power to withhold bail, increase charges and strong-arm defendants into plea deals. It is one of many problems within the U.S.'s criminal justice system but one that some reformed-minded district attorneys are attempting to fix. This is well written and researched and the author does a good job of laying out all of the issues. I think it is fair to say that the author takes a very clear stance on these cases and she portrays some definite bad guys but I can't help feeling that it was well deserved. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
