The experts know. An Innocent Client is special: 'Stunning.' Compelling.' 'Terrific.'
An Innocent Client is the most impressive first novel I've read in years. Think Harlan Coben meets John Grisham. Scott Pratt has written an unputdownable legal thriller, and I can't wait to see what he does next.
– Jason Starr, award winning author of The Follower
I've read An Innocent Client and am truly stunned – it's Scott Turow and Grisham on meth. The opening chapter is maybe the most compelling I've read in a decade.
– Ken Bruen, Shamus Award-winning author of The Guards.
Newcomer Scott Pratt brings a fresh voice to a crowded field in his stellar debut, An Innocent Client. Joe Dillard is the best defense lawyer in his small town in Tennessee. He's also desperately trying to leave the practice of law. Tired of cutting deals for the guilty, Dillard hopes to end his career on a high note - by representing one innocent client. A murder at a local strip club may give him his chance. Artfully plotted, carefully nuanced, and immensely readable, An Innocent Client is a terrific debut novel. Joe Dillard is an engaging, complex character who is worth rooting for. We will be hearing much more from Scott Pratt. Highly recommended.
– Sheldon Siegel, New York Times bestselling author of Judgment Day.
Make room on the bestseller lists for newcomer Scott Pratt. An Innocent Client is a thrill ride from start to finish, with richly drawn characters and a nuanced story that grabs you from page one.
– Michelle Gagnon, author of The Tunnels and Boneyard.
As polished and engrossing as any John Hart or John Grisham legal thriller, Scott Pratt's stunning debut novel, An Innocent Client, sings with intrigue, crusty Tennessee characters, and gut-wrenching personal choices. To protagonist Joe Dillard's wish for 'just one innocent client,' I'd say 'Watch what you wish for." To everyone else, I'd say, 'Go buy this book now!'
– Louise Ure, Shamus Award-winning author of The Fault Tree. An Innocent Client is available for pre-order at Books•A•Million, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Buy.com and PriceGrabber.com. |
