Summary

Based on the TV show "Law and Order".  Luther Stone did time in Attica 
for a drug conviction.  He finds out that Claire Kincaid, the assistant
district attorney who prosecuted his case has a mentally retarded 
brother named Tommy.  Tommy likes to visit the strip bar that Luther 
works at.  Luther attempts to use Tommy to destroy Claire's life.

Commentary

This was a very well written story.  I watch Law and Order from time to
time and this story was a good replica of it.  The main characters were
fleshed out enough that you could understand their motivations.  It was
not rushed.  The sex did serve a function and it was not to entertain.

Some of the actions by the main characters did require some suspension 
of disbelief.  Claire's decision to strip and masturbate for Luther did
not seem real intelligent.  It was also a little confusing at the end 
when she stabs Tommy with a pair of scissors.  I assumed that he was 
dead, as does she, but then he turns up again and there is no mention of
wounds.

None of the male characters were drawn in a very positive light.  That 
is just an observation.  I am not saying that they should have been.  
This was an intelligently written story. It has a happy ending, but is 
not a light story.

Rating

I give this story a 7.5 on a scale of 10.
