Pretty good legal, murder thriller about a lawyer that gets one of her law school professors off on murder charge only to have him admit his guilt as his verdict is handed down. Casey Jordan is the best defense lawyer in Texas. She likes big, headline making cases, those with the biggest clients and the biggest risks. When Eric Lipton, nationally known criminal law professor, is accused of brutally murdering a former student, he hires Casey to defend him and she's thrilled. Lipton was arrested leaving the country with the victim's bloody underwear in his luggage so it's just the kind of headline grabbing, career making trial she likes. Casey does a great job, tearing apart defense witnesses and laying suspicion on the victim's father. Just before the jury foreman reads the not guilty verdict, Lipton leans over and whispers to Casey “I really killed her". As more bodies begin to turn up, Casey is caught in a real bind, her duty to her client as an attorney and her need to see justice done. This was my first Tim Green book. It had some interesting possibilities but I thought his courtroom scenes seemed unreal compared to many of the other legal thrillers I've read. There was really no character to like or to identify with in the book. It certainly wasn't the worst book I've read of this genre but I would definitely pick up a John Grisham or Scott Turow next time I want an enjoyable legal thriller. Ambitious young female attorney Casey Jordan is called upon to defend her former law professor in a grisly murder of a young woman. The defense is successful, but the victim's father (a savvy rural guy) is doubtful and wants to take the law into his own hands. Is the professor really an evil murderer? Turns out there are some similar unsolved cases that fit the pattern. The story takes place in Austin and has a strong sense of place. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
