The Colour Of Law - Mark Gimenez ... 33, in the prime of his life, he rakes in $750,000 a year, drives a Ferrari and comes home every night to a mansion in Dallas's most exclusive neighbourhood. He also comes home to one of Dallas's most beautiful women, with whom he has a much-loved daughter, Boo. For Fenney, life could not be better. But when a senator's son is killed in a hit-and-run, Fenney is asked by the state judge to put his air-conditioned lifestyle on hold to defend the accused: a black, heroin-addicted prostitute - a very different client to the people Fenney usually represents. And, more importantly, she is not going be paying Ford Stevens $350 an hour for the privilege of his services. Under fire from all sides, Fenney drafts in a public defender to take the case on. Yet as Scott prepares to hand over to Bobby, he feels increasingly guilty about the path he is taking, because Scott still believes in the principle of justice. The question is: does he believe in it strongly enough to jeopardise everything in his life he holds dear. And to what lengths is the dead man's power-hungry father prepared to go to test Fenney's resolve?

He has to weigh up if he is willing to sacrifice everything he holds dear: lifestyle/money/social standing/family/ferrari etc etc against his belief in justice (which he hasn't actually practiced since becoming a lawyer). Should he refuse the case thereby taking on the wrath of the judge or take it and endure the wrath of his partners and also knowing the father of the deceased will be prepared to test his resolve at every stage?

If you like legal books in the early John Grisham mould then you will love this debut novel. I was immediately hooked from reading the prologue and read the whole book in one sitting.

Life could not be better as long as the money rolls in and he doesn't have to do any proper legal stuff or believe in justice. He will step on anyone to get more until one day he is forced to take a ...
