Reviews and Press
"Mouse in the Box is a realistic perspective of the trials and tribulations of being a criminal defense attorney. Mason Mitchell finds himself in the frustrating position of being at the mercy of the court and court procedure as he struggles to defend two clients, one accused of a racially explosive murder in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He finds that being good doesn't always translate into justice in a system in which the search to find the truth often takes a backseat to the desire to win. I read it on vacation and had a hard time putting the book down."
