Con Law

John Bookman - Book to his friends - is a tenured professor at the University
of Texas School of Law. He's thirty-five, handsome and unmarried. He teaches
Constitutional Law, reduces senators to blithering fools on talk shows, and is
often mentioned as a future Supreme Court nominee.

But Book is also famous for something more unusual. He likes to take on lost
causes and win. Consequently, when he arrives at the law school each Monday
morning, hundreds of letters await him, letters from desperate Americans
around the country seeking his help. Every now and then, one letter captures
his attention and Book feels compelled to act.

In the first of a thrilling new series from the author of international
bestsellers The Colour of Law and Accused, Book investigates a murder set in
the high-stakes world of fracking and corruption in deepest, darkest Texas.
