Synopsis

The town is still reeling from the murder of sixteen-year-old Heidi, whose father - Beck's old college friend - asks Beck to help him find Heidi's killer before the statute of limitations runs out.

About the Author
New York Times bestselling author Mark Gimenez is the author of Accused, The Perk and The Common Lawyer, among others. These three fast-paced, dramatic titles represent a significant chunk of the author’s impressive 900,000 copies sold. Accused is the hotly-anticipated follow-up to his highly acclaimed debut novel The Color of Law. "Gimenez fills the John Grisham hole in the legal-thriller genre so well there may be no room left for Grisham," said The Sunday Times (Perth AUS). According to the Chicago Sun-Times, "at least once a year a new legal thriller hits the shelves, hyped to the stars, with promises that the author will be ‘the next John Grisham.’ Usually, the fanfare is wasted, the hype is a lie and the promises fall flat because the book isn’t very good. Not so with Mark Gimenez’ compelling debut, The Color of Law." Gimenez is a "Thriller" Award nominee by International Thriller Writers, Inc. and a Gumshoe Award Nominee for "Best First Novel" by Mystery Ink. Gimenez brings his own work as a former partner in a large Dallas law firm to his explosive yet ultra-realistic novels. A Texas native, he lives outside Fort Worth with his wife and two sons.
Review
An exceptionally well-crafted novel, populated by a cast of characters that are relaistically drawn and appealing * Civilian Reader.com * As ever, Gimenez is highly recommended, impossible to put down and definitely not to be missed. * CrimeSquad * Remember when John Grisham exploded on to the courtroom drama market with novels of breathtaking brilliance? Lightning just struck twice. * Daily Record *
