An absolutely could-not-put-down book. Shows everything that's wrong with lawyers and everything that's good about lawyers. Why we hate them and why we need them. I just loved it.

I LOVED this book! It has well formed characters, good vs evil (in many forms) and several intertwined story lines. The next time this author has a book pubished, I will buy it right away. If this is ever made into a movie, I'll be there on opening night too.

Great debut book from this author. Quick easy read with interesting characters and story line.
Typical lawyer/murder case paperback.
If you like Grisham, you'll love Gimenez! May be more fact than fiction; an excellent legal thriller. Reader really gets into the characters and the location; hard to put down.
Subtle this book is not! The plot is completely obvious, but written up energetically and entertainingly.
The tale of a Dallas based lawyer that has to make the ultimate sacrifice: lose his high paying job, Highland Park mansion, and marriage to represent a prostitute in a murder trial. Good first novel by Gimenez, but I hope his next isn't so repetitive. I was on the of my seat at the end, but I think Gimenez has room for improvement!

Absolutely wonderful! Love this author.
What's the difference between a good lawyer and a good person? Scott Feeney takes a while to figure out what he really wants and needs from life.
