BOOK DESCRIPTION FROM DUST JACKET:

Editorial Review - Completing the trilogy begun with the well received Reasonable Doubt and Inadmissible Evidence, Grand Jury explores the secret workings of New York city's pretrial testing ground.  An elderly Chinese couple is arrested for narcotics trafficking.  One grand juror, herself part Chinese and oddly sympathetic to the pair, smells a rat.  She investigates another juror, a computer jock captivated by her beauty, into traveling with her to Asia, where love blooms.  Back home, though, the local corruption squad has smelled the same rat, and the chase is on.  and on and on.  Having done prodigious research on these topics, Friedman lays them out in all their complexity, which makes it difficult for him to sustain the expected pace of an action thriller.  But he is a strong, declarative writer, offering quick fire dialog and appealing characters.  His settings are gritty and realistic, though the sex and violence are muted by a considerate pen.  Any library with a Friedman following will want to complete the set, and every collection stocking up for vacation reading should consider this.
