The Tortoise Shell Code by V Frank Asaro Review

Off the coast of Southern California, the Sea Diva, a tuna boat, sinks. Members of the crew are missing and what happened remains a mystery. Anthony Darren, a renowned and wealthy lawyer at the top of his game, knows the boat’s owner and soon becomes involved in the case. As the case goes to trial, a missing crew member is believed to be at fault, but new evidence comes to light and the finger of guilt points in a completely unanticipated direction.

Now Anthony must pull together all his resources to find the truth in what has happened and free a wrongly accused man—as well as untangle himself. Fighting despair, he finds that the recent events have called much larger issues into question. As he struggles to right this terrible wrong, Anthony makes new and enlightening discoveries in his own life-long battle for personal and global justice. (via GoodReads).

My Review:
An insurance scam, an honest lawyer being blamed, and a book that will set it all straight, even though it is written using a pseudonym. I enjoyed the drama and the friendship/ support that was given to Anthony. The beginning of the book was all background, and the author was getting me ready for a complete and surprise ending. I like court room drama, and of course I like a good mystery. The author also threw in a time clock to save an innocent man and there was also love at stake. There were so many different things going on at once that I could not wait to see how the author was going to tie it all in together. He did, and he did a great job. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review from OrangeBerry Book Tours, however all opinions are my own.
