Description
Book SynopsisJohn Bookman - Book to his friends - is a tenured professor at the University of Texas School of Law. He''s thirty-five, handsome and unmarried. He teaches Constitutional Law, reduces senators to blithering fools on talk shows, and is often mentioned as a future Supreme Court nominee.
But Book is also famous for something more unusual. He likes to take on lost causes and win. Consequently, when he arrives at the law school each Monday morning, hundreds of letters await him, letters from desperate Americans around the country seeking his help. Every now and then, one letter captures his attention and Book feels compelled to act.
In the first of a thrilling new series from the author of international bestsellers The Colour of Law and Accused, Book investigates a murder set in the high-stakes world of fracking and corruption in deepest, darkest Texas.
Trade ReviewThere cannot be any dispute. Gimenez has taken over John Grisham's mantle. His work is now faster and fresher than Grisham, his characters are stronger, and his plot lines reek of tomorrow's headlines. Daily Mail Gimenez does law mysteries every bit as good as John Grisham, and this latest effort won't disappoint fans of that master. Weekend Sport A fracking good read. The Times (South Africa)
