Review:



Larry pens "Dead Peasants" a face paced, believable legal thriller in a plot that was well written, entertaining and filled with action. I loved the way his characters were developed easily and wasted no time in doing so. His descriptions were so realistic that you felt you were right there as the story unfolds. A must read for all legal thriller fans.

I give "Dead Peasants" a 5 star rating.
