The Color of Law

by Mark Gimenz

A poor-boy college football hero turned successful partner at a prominent Dallas firm -- who long ago checked his conscience at the door -- catches a case that forces him to choose between his enviable lifestyle and doing the right thing in this masterful debut legal thriller. Scott Finney reluctantly takes on a pro bono case involving a prostitute accused of murdering the playboy son of a Presidential hopeful. At some point during the case, he begins developing a conscience. I found myself comparing this book to To Kill a Mockingbird, which is one of my favorite books. This book is a page-turner that I highly recommend for summertime reading!
