Synopsis

From Gerry Spence, one of America’s greatest trial attorneys and the New York Times bestselling author of How to Argue and Win Every Time, comes an explosive courtroom thriller of murder, passion, and the twists and treachery of law and justice.

Lillian Adams is going on trial for the murder of her wealthy husband before Judge John Murray, to whom she has been like a daughter since childhood. Despite this long, shared history, both the prosecutor and defense attorney agree that Murray should sit on the case, and Murray himself knows he must. For he believes that if he steps down and another judge is appointed, there will be little hope for Lillian. The prosecutor is a sadistic psychopath who will pervert the law to convict Lillian and do everything in his power to hurt Judge Murray. And Murray must save Lillian.

Gerry Spence takes listeners through shocking twists and suspenseful courtroom scenes that only the great maestro of the courtroom himself could create. Court of Lies goes beyond being a great legal thriller. It questions the very basis of our legal system and its ability to discover the truth and deliver justice.

Court of Lies by Gerry Spence is a legal thriller and while I usually love that genre and Gerry Spence is known for them this is still my first attempt at one of his novels. With this first try there were of course things I loved and things I didn’t quite enjoy as much. Court of Lies is centered arou......more

Goodreads review by Monnie on February 02, 2019

4.5 stars, actually. If you're a lover of courtroom mystery/thrillers as I am, don't miss this one. Although it's rare for me to "compare" one author's book with another's - I don't think it's fair to either writer - I must say that throughout most of this book it felt as if I were channeling John Gr......more

Goodreads review by Pamela Small on March 24, 2019

What started out as a 5 star thrilling legal thriller diminished in the end due to the fact it didn’t end! The mysterious murder trial concluded, but the novel did not. It dragged on to another trial.....then to another murder trial. At the conclusion (FINALLY) of the novel, the reader is left not r......more
