Quick Summary:

There is a big murder case and Theo is soon watching it with intensity. He soon finds himself wrapped up in this mystery. It doesn't have a clear answer and there is a unidentified witness confiding in Theo. The trial is finally coming to an end and the guilty man might go away free. Can Theo get this witness to the courtroom before it's too late?

Review:
I thought this book was very interesting and fun. It was a little slow at first, but I really liked Theo. He is not very complex, but still complicated. He know a lot about the law and it teaches the reader some new facts in a fun way. Theo has large ambitions and is always dealing and advising with legal issues with people around his school. The book was exciting and never too boring. It makes you wonder what will happen next and how he will confront his problem. Theo works with his family and friends to find answers that others cannot. This was a fun, delightful, exciting and inspiring book.
