Edward Ugel: Money For Nothing Subtitled, One Man's Journey Through The Dark Side Of Lottery Millions. (****)
Susan Braudy: This Crazy Thing Called Love The true story behind the Billy Woodward shooting, the case on which Dominick Dunne based his novel, The Two Mrs. Grenvilles. (*****)

John Grisham: The Innocent Man I can only quote from the jacket blurb: "If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you.

A must read. (*****)
