Synopsis

A BOSTON GLOBE BEST MYSTERY OF THE YEAR

Lisa and Joe Stone, married for twenty years and partners in their small Virginia law firm, handle routine, run-of-the-mill cases, including never-ending complaints from their cantankerous client Lettie VanSandt. When Lettie dies in a suspicious accident
and unexpectedly leaves her entire estate to Joe, the Stones find themselves entangled in a corporate conspiracy that will require all their legal skills—not to mention some difficult ethical choices—for them to survive.

Complicating matters, Lisa is desperately trying to shield Joe from a dreadful secret, a mistake that she would give anything to erase.

With a cast of perfectly drawn imperfect characters, an intricate tour of the legal system, and a remarkably entertaining plot alongside a no-holds-barred portrait of a marriage, The Jezebel Remedy is a legal drama in a class of its own.

“Clark is, hands down, our finest legal-thriller writer.”—Entertainment Weekly

This, the first of his books I've read, reminds me more of Scott Turow in its density of plot and assuredness of dialogue. While I enjoy Gresham's work, and love his formula of some small guy going......more

Goodreads review by Delany

This guy, Martin Fillmore Clark, is one of my very favorite writers. I'm a retired lawyer and often find it difficult or exasperating to read novels featuring lawyers and legal situations when written by those who never practiced law -- they get too many of the details wrong, and they just don't qui......more
