About this title

From the Author:

Coming in 2020  THE CRIMINAL MIND  #3 in The Good Lawyer SeriesWHY I WROTE THE CRIMINAL LAWYERMy first novel, The Good Lawyer, was inspired by my experiences as a Legal Aid Attorney in the South Bronx in the early 1980's. In The Criminal Lawyer I write about crimes that have occurred within miles of my home, near a beach that has always been a great source of peace and serenity to me ever since my family moved from Brooklyn to Long Island when I was 13 years old. 
In 2010, four sets of human remains were discovered in burlap bags in the marsh along Ocean Parkway,  a stone's throw from the Atlantic shore. A serial killer had made his mark there--on my Long Island, and worse, on my Jones Beach. I was angry. I wanted justice. I read all that was available about the crimes.  
And so in my 2nd novel I explore those dark urges and motivations of the serial murderer, along with the hopeless fear of his victims, while The Criminal Lawyer, saddled with his own emotional baggage goes on a terrifying quest to not only catch a psychopathic killer, but avoid being another of his victim's in the process.
