Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Soft Case


Soft Case depicts the investigation of the apparent suicide of Ronald Mullins, a software exectutive and Senate hopeful. There are a lot of twists and turns, but it is the first person's character that really drives this book. I was entertained, enraged, and humored all at the same time.
