I Thought John Grisham Was Too Much, I've Seen Another by slap1(m): 12:23pm On May 23, 2009
i am a great 'grishamist', make no mistakes about that. i was so taken with his legal books considering the fact that i intend studying Law. i first read his The Rainmaker, and what a book! i was beginning to pledge Grisham forever when i stumbled on this book: Lost Lake, by Phillip Margolin. my experience was ineffable. i dug deeper into the author's background and discovered he was also a lawyer (criminal) of repute in Oregon. however, i feel selfish for not sharing my experience of this writer whose books are all New York Times Bestsellers. if you have read this writer, share your experience. if you thing i'm bluffing visit his site: phillipmargolin.com

Amanda Jaffe, the heroine of WILD JUSTICE and PROOF POSITIVE, is back—in this twisting tale of international intrigue and murder that leads her deep into the past… and into the crosshairs of a killer.

Charlie Marsh, a petty thief and con man, becomes a national hero when he rescues the warden of a state penitentiary during a prison riot, but it doesn't take long before he is wanted again, suspected of killing a United States congressman. After twelve years of living in the African nation of Batanga, at the mercy of Jean-Claude Baptiste, a sadistic, power-mad dictator, Charlie flees for home to face his murder charge, when Baptiste learns about Charlie's affair with the tyrant's favorite wife.

But it's not just the state of Oregon that's got it in for the philandering con. Criminal lawyer Amanda Jaffe has her work cut out for her. She must keep Charlie off death row, protect him from the head of Baptiste's deadly secret police, and prevent him from being caught by a shadowy killer who will stop at nothing to keep the truth about a decade-old crime buried forever.
CRITICAL PRAISE FOR PHILLIP MARGOLIN’S FUGITIVE:

"Entertaining… a plot set on full boil… All will enjoy following the resourceful Amanda as she puts the puzzle pieces together."

and so on, and on.

I think grisham is good, but what he is really great at is making interesting reading of everyday circumstances. read more hadley chase, lets noy forget the thriller maestro so soon! brad meltzer, john lescroart, and lee child are nice too. especially child. your first meeting with jack reacher will be breath taking!
