And Reggie will do anything to protect her client -- even take a last, desperate gamble that could win Mark his freedom... or cost them both their lives. Review: Voice of Youth Advocates (August 1, 1993) Eleven-year-old Mark Sway and his little brother Ricky are sneaking cigarettes in the woods near their trailer park home in Memphis when a man drives up and ultimately kills himself before their eyes, sending Ricky into post-traumatic shock, and Mark into the twilight zone of knowing something the Mafia doesn't want him to tell the FBI. The suicide turns out to be the lawyer for a New Orleans mobster accused of murdering a U.S. senator. All the FBI and the overly ambitious U.S. Attorney General in New Orleans need to know is the whereabouts of the body, which only Mark (besides the killer) now knows. How Mark and the lawyer he hires for a dollar, and a cantankerous juvenile court judge keep both the mob and the FBI at bay until the right time to tell is the basic plot of the book, but its real strength, besides superb plotting, is in the characterization of a very bright, streetwise kid, who once fended his abusive father off his mother with a baseball bat, and who knows all about the mob and courts from television. He is totally and irresistibly credible up to the terrible minute he realizes that, by negotiating his way to safety, he is leaving his beloved, accidentally chosen lawyer and friend behind. How Mark escapes from juvenile detention is only one of many superb booktalk possibilities, and the insights into the courts and law enforcement system are as wickedly funny as interesting. There hasn't been anything this good on these topics since Sol Stein's The Magician, which was also far less funny. This is a novel that is good to the very last word! It well deserves to be promoted to young adults in addition to its already avid adult readership, and if it isn't a YALSA Best Book of 1993, then nothing else deserves to be on the list._Mary K.
