About Keeplock from Kirkus Reviews:
"But the pseudonymous Cray, a.k.a. Stephen Solomita (Last
Chance for Glory, 1994, etc.), writes with a determined
toughness, conveying Pete's hallucinatory sense of the world
outside the joint as just a bigger version of the lockdown.
Grimly exciting as The Asphalt Jungle, though Pete is a lot
less interesting than the problems his nasty buddies
pose"
Bad Lawyer review snippets: NYTBR- April 2001 #3 Kirkus
Reviews:
"A refreshingly unsentimental reply to all those fairy tales
about lawyers whose ideals rise miraculously from the ashes"
PW: "A clever, gritty, sordid and surprising tale, this
should capture an eager audience"
