Silent Counsel - "Readers will be riveted by this morally complex story." - Booklist
"A complex story and heart-pounding climax that will have readers looking forward to Isaacson's next." - Kirkus Reviews
"Readers will be riveted by this morally complex story." - Booklist Legal Thriller at promo Kindle and Nook price of $0.99 Suppose the unimaginable: What if your child were killed in a hit-and-run? And the one person who knew the driver's identity - his lawyer - couldn't tell you his name because of a legal technicality? Silent Counsel is the story of just such a nightmare. After Stacy Altman's six-year-old son is run down in front of their house, with no witnesses to the tragic accident, she learns that the driver has hired attorney Scott Heller to negotiate a plea arrangement with the prosecutor. But he's instructed Scott not to reveal his name until a satisfactory agreement is in place. The prosecutor refuses to make a deal, and the court rebuffs Stacy's efforts to force Scott to tell her - or even the authorities - who his client is, holding that the information is protected by the attorney-client privilege. Since the court won't do anything to help Stacy track down her son's killer, she takes matters into her own hands. And she's determined to make Scott talk - at any cost... --------------------------------------------------- Upon its hardcover release, Silent Counsel appeared for four consecutive weeks on Amazon's list of Bestselling Legal Thrillers behind only two other titles: John Grisham's THE APPEAL and Harper Lee's TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. "Ken Isaacson is an exciting new voice in crime fiction, and SILENT COUNSEL is his stunning debut - a legal thriller with a fascinating twist that will keep you turning pages to the unpredictable conclusion." - Linda Fairstein, New York Times bestselling author and former prosecutor "Ken Isaacson scares us with the ultimate ethical nightmare: what if you endanger your family just by doing your job? SILENT COUNSEL is a smashing debut, with everything you could want in a legal thriller." - Tess Gerritsen, author of THE MEPHISTO CLUB |

Bought....thanks! Apparently though my comments were removed and I had to look for the book again, even though you did respond and say thanks!
What a dis-service to the author!!!! I almost couldn't find the thread because I didn't remember the title, and would not have been able to purchase. So, this is moving it to the top, just like I did before. |

Well.....this was a quite interesting book, and a quite interesting take on the attorney-client privilege.
I myself couldn't put it down, and it's definitely on par if not better than alot of the Grisham books I've read. I really enjoyed at about the half-way mark, the deposition where the court is deciding if that privilege should be lifted, that whole section, while only about 7-10 pages was just a fantastic section, and to me, stuck out. Worth a heck of a lot more than .99 cents for sure!! |

The end is near.
Not of the world (to my knowledge, at least), but of the SILENT COUNSEL $0.99 promotion. Beat the price increase, which will go into effect on June 1. |
