I've received thousands of emails from readers around the world and thought you might enjoy their comments. I know I have. Thanks for your emails and for spreading the word about my books. Happy reading. Regards, ACCUSED The sequel to The Color of Law. A. Scott Fenney must defend his ex-wife who is accused of murdering the man she left him for, a star pro golfer. Best-seller lists:
Reviews: "Some critics are calling the Texas-based lawyer Mark Gimenez 'the next Grisham'—but I think that's far less than fair. This, his fifth novel and the second featuring attorney A. Scott Fenney, shows he's now better than the one-time master of the American courtroom drama. . . . One of the best legal thrillers since Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent in 1987. . . . Superb." – Daily Mail (UK). "Brilliant writing, masterful plot and all the thrill of the courtroom in one." – City AM (UK) "A gripping read with unexpected twists that ranks with anything Grisham has done in years." – The Times (UK) "Gimenez writes smart vernacular dialogue, hip and street-wise, with a nice line in social commentary, and his plotting leaves the over-rated John Grisham in his rear-vision mirror." –The Australian "Unputdownable." – The Times of India THE COMMON LAWYER A young traffic-ticket lawyer in Austin, Texas, learns that a client can be too rich for his lawyer's own good. Best-seller lists:
Reviews: "The Common Lawyer is about an overpowering need to right a shocking wrong, and it contains violence, romance and some heart-warmingly managed ethical dilemmas . . . The pace is perfect; the style clean and transparent; the emotional manipulation, effective; and you can see the film from here. It will entertain many people." - Times Literary Supplement (UK) "Mark Gimenez writes colloquially smart dialogue but plots like an old master." - The Australian THE PERK A Chicago trial lawyer loses his wife to breast cancer and returns to his small hometown in Texas to raise his two young children. He soon becomes the local judge and finds himself trying to pay off an old debt by solving the cold case murder of his high school buddy's teenage daughter. Best-seller lists:
Reviews: "Remember when John Grisham exploded on to the courtroom drama market with novels of breathtaking brilliance? Lightning just struck twice." - The Daily Record (Scotland) "Gimenez fills the John Grisham hole in the legal-thriller genre so well there may be no room left for Grisham." – The Sunday Times (Perth) Top Ten of 2008—"We read lots of thrillers and they can tend to merge into one another. The Perk stood out by a mile as an excellent example of the genre and a stunning, well told tale in its own right. Gimenez' stature continues to grow." - CrimeSquad.com (UK) THE ABDUCTION A former Green Beret must put down the whiskey bottle and go in search of his kidnapped granddaughter, certain that his dark past has come back to haunt her. Best-seller lists:
Reviews: "A cracking read." - The Times (UK) "Pulse-pounding narrative." – Booklist "Gimenez has written a startling, multilayered thriller in which complex characters and a fast-moving plot grab the reader immediately. Smart dialog and a spunky Gracie, who never loses her cool, make for a memorable read that twists and turns until the final, cinematic conclusion." - Library Journal (starred review) "There are times when life gets so overwhelming that even a good book can't keep your mind from wandering. That's when you need a super-riveting read like this to take you away. It's a tale with a normally hard-to-take premise—child abduction. But in the hands of bestselling author Mark Gimenez, it becomes a tale of humanity, heroism, and hope, with complex characters who jump off the page. Boy can this guy tell a story!" - Book-of-the-Month Club THE COLOR OF LAW A prominent lawyer in a large Dallas law firm is appointed to represent a prostitute charged with murdering the son of a U.S. senator. Best-seller lists:
Reviews: "First novelist Gimenez draws on his experience as an attorney in this taut legal thriller that echoes To Kill a Mockingbird. With fast-paced and edgy prose, dramatic tête-à-têtes between attorneys, and an explosive courtroom conclusion, Gimenez effectively weaves elements of race, class, and justice into a story of a lawyer who rediscovers the difference between doing good and doing well." - Library Journal (starred review) "The Color of Law is an unbeatable legal thriller with a lot of heart." - Texas Monthly THE GOVERNOR'S WIFE A Texas governor wants to be president . . . his wife wants to escape his suffocating ambition . . . and a Mexican drug lord wants him dead. PARTS & LABOR Book One of the Adventures of Max Dugan My first children's book, for middle-grade, ages 8-12. Max Dugan, 10, is a fourth-grader battling bullies at school and his emotions at home; his father deployed to Afghanistan and did not return. His mother, Kate, a labor-and-delivery nurse, struggles to maintain the family, which also includes Scarlett, 14, and Maddy, 4. The therapist says they are not coping well. In fact, the Dugan family is a mess—until a strange boy named Norbert moves in next door and changes their lives in more ways than they could ever imagine. |
