The Colour Of Law (A. Scott Fenney) - Softcover

One of the most promising American lawyer-writers I've read recently. It's a Grisham-like novel about a slick, successful, ambitious Dallas corporate lawyer whose life changes when he has to defend a black prostitute accused of murder. (Guardian)

A compulsive read that owes its heart, soul and passion to Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. Warning: you can lose an entire lazy Sunday to this one. (Time Out)

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. (Chicago Sun-Times)

The Color of Law is more than just a highly readable legal thriller. It's also a blistering attack on both the legal profession and super-rich Texans in Dallas. (Washington Post)

Gimenez does a fine job with the plot; lots of twists and the courtroom scenes are great. (Globe and Mail)

A good story, which Gimenez tells with passion and conviction (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)

Gimenez has delivered a readable story with a central character who's extremely interesting. We'll be back with A. Scott Finney in the future, I have no doubt. (EVENING HERALD)

Warning: You will lose an entire lazy Sunday to this one. (TIME OUT)

I read it at one sitting . . . Gimenez has created a complex and believable character who carries a story that still intrigues (OBSERVER)
