Great Book

I llike to thank the seller for a wonderful job of sending the book and in a great condition. I also ordered two more books from them just recently for the execellent service they provided. I highly reccommend them.

Highy recommended!

This is the first William Bernhardt novel that I've read. It was a gift from a friend, and admittedly, not the type of novel I normally enjoy. What a nice surprise this book was! It had suspense, action and mystery but most importantly, kept me guessing. It's a fast read, so get the book on some quiet weekend and have a good time.

Couldn't Put It Down!

This is without a doubt, Mr Bernhardt at his best. I just love his writing. Especially when it involves Ben, Christina, Loving, Jones and Mike. He just excels. The story was well written, compelling and intriguing. It kept me guessing with every turn of the page. Ben and Co have been long time favorites of mine and this time around is no exception. They're the best in the courtroom and the squad room. This is an engaging suspensful novel that I highly recommend. Fans of Mr Bernhardt will not be disappointed.

Ben Kincaid does it again!

Reading William Bernhardt is always a treat. Seeing the mix of characters in the office and Ben Kincaid's sometime low self-esteem make for a believable and engaging lawyer and his firm. (Didn't actually know they existed!) There is the usual tension between Ben and Christina. There is the goofiness of Loving that adds humor in just the right spots and, of course, there are the last minute heriocs that always come with a twist. This is a good book and I am already looking forward to seeing Ben in action again. Mr. Bernhardt: You don't write quickly enough!!!

Fine legal thriller

Seven years ago Tulsa attorney Ben Kincaid failed to obtain a not guilty verdict for his client, food chemist Ray Goldman. Now the convicted killer of multiple murders, in which he killed eight members of the Faulkner family removing their eyes, faces execution by lethal injection unless Ben can get a stay with with last appeal.Shockingly, Erin Faulkner, the only eye witness survivor whose testimony condemned Ray, tells Ben she made an error as she had doubts, but folded under immense pressure from the ADA to attain a conviction. Before Ben can use this new information, Erin is found dead, an apparent suicide. When a second person is killed who was coming to Ben with information, the lawyer tries to get more time but fails in a system in which justice is so blind that it appears that an innocent man will die.Though surprisingly Ben has little to do with solving the case, fans will enjoy this death row legal thriller. The angst-laden story line works at its best when the pressure on Ben becomes unbearable especially when the hero desperately pleads with the court for more time. Though the office of the DA is painted to an extreme, with its only interest in attaining convictions even in death row cases, William Bernhardt is at his marvelous best with this delightful mystery.
