"The Pitcher" By Wm. Hazelgrove reviews A PITCH FOR JUSTICE

Scott Turow Meets Bang the Drum Slowly, September 5, 2013



By

William Elliott Hazelgrove (Chicago) - Author of five best selling books including THE PITCHER which is soon to be made into a major movie

This review is from: A Pitch for Justice (Kindle Edition)
Any good novel has to be built around a single premise. The premise should be able to be summed up in one sentence. What if a man was killed by a pitch (ala Ray Chapman) and the pitcher was charged with murder? Very interesting. Now you have your high concept if you will. And that is the premise of a Pitch For Justice. Harold Kasselman integrates the legal with the baseball in the seamless style of any well written bestseller. He does have the legal knowledge but he also has the knowledge of the game and sticks to the premise of the novel. Can a man murder another man with a baseball pitch? Less is more. I have read Scott Turow. I have heard him speak and we traded emails a few times. And I have read Bang the Drum Slowly. You can tell Harold Kasselman loves the law and baseball. A Pitch for Justice is a seamless integration that I could not put down. amzn.to/1gSngr0
