Publisher's Summary:

John Bookman - Book to his friends - is a tenured professor at the University of Texas School of Law. He's 35, 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 best sellers The Colour of Law and Accused, Book investigates a murder set in the high-stakes world of fracking and corruption in deepest, darkest Texas.

Members Reviews:

Seriously good listen

If you could sum up Con Law in three words, what would they be?

This is a great story, complex and interesting, read by THE BEST narrator, Jeff Harding.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

My attention did not wander for a second.

What does Jeff Harding bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

He is the best narrator and can make dreary stories sound interesting and interesting stories compelling.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Constitutional Law meets Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Slow to get going and not that great when it does!

I had high hopes for this book as it had got good reviews from other people. However, the overly long introduction to the story which focussed significantly on points of American constitutional law became drawn out and rather boring to me - and I am a lawyer, but a British one, not American.. I normally find the legal aspects of novels by John Grisham interesting, but this just didn't grip me. Then, when the story got going, I found the character of the female intern quite whiny, rather than entertaining as described by other reviewers. I haven't finished the book yet, so am will keep going and hope that it gets better.... but I'm beginning to doubt it.

love the humour

Easy read, would make a good movie.the characters are really quirky and interesting. I enjoyed the read.

Fantastic Read

Captivating from the word go. As Jeff Harding continues to narrate you are compelled to sit and listen to more and more. Jeff Harding is an excellent narrator and is an ideal complement to this story. I hope he narrates the follow up.

excellent romp

I was worried I may not like this book after being disappointed by The Governor's wife. However, as I had loved The accused and the Colour of law by the same author I thought I would give it a go. I'm very glad I did. I would definitely read another in this series as it says book 1. Good characterisation and brilliant narration made this a good listen. I would not be put off by other reviews moaning about the constitutional law elements, I found them interesting and at times funny.
