Criminal defense lawyers must make their peace with one harsh fact of life: most of their clients are guilty.
But when William Tucker, a celebrated and self-centered star college football player, is suddenly arrested and charged with the brutal rape and murder of a college coed two years before, his estranged father, Frank Tucker, a drunken, broken-down, beach-bum ex-criminal defense lawyer, … lawyer, cannot believe his son is guilty. No father can. So he must find a way to sober up and save his son from the death penalty sought by an ambitious district attorney. And father and son learn that only three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and a father’s love for his son.

I loved this book. It was unpredictable, witty, wonderful characters who came to life on the pages.
T errific book. K
Good book and I love the style of Mark Gimenez.
I enjoyed it and would recommend it to mystery lovers
Good read in the legal thriller genre.
Couldn’t put it down.
A little predictable, but good characters and a timely theme. Just enough twists to keep you hooked.
Love this author
Another great by Mark Gimenez

His other books are excellent. @gmail.com">tfe1960@gmail.com
Best Gimenez book I have read so far. This would make a great movie.
WOW
Great mystery
First time I have read this author and loved this book! So well written!
Good author, I’ve read his other books and they are excellent as well!
Highly recommend this author! He will not disappoint.
I do all I can to avoid books set in Texas (personal bias) but reviews convinced me to give this a try. How wonderful to discover a new (to me) author and it didn’t hurt any that football was a theme and one didn’t have to be a Texas fan to enjoy it. People compare the author to Grisham, but not fair to either. For me, they offer very different …
It could happen to you.
Loved this book. Couldn’t put it down. I also like that the author gives some history of the location setting.
