[Good Lawyer 02] • The Criminal Lawyer

INSPIRED BY REAL CRIMES A serial killer is littering the south shore beach of Long Island with the bones of his victims stuffed into burlap bags. Nick Mannino (THE GOOD LAWYER), a former South Bronx Legal Aid Attorney, is now middle-aged. A complex and compelling character, Nick has a disturbing family history--his constant court battles nothing more than a futile effort to hide and deny a haunting truth about himself and a sinewy bloodline marred by unspeakable crimes. Then this brutal serial killer turns on him, and worse, his family. Is this payback for a comfortable life begot from his mafia uncle's dirty money? Has his ambitious South Bronx years of the 1980's-crimes he was forced to commit-innocent lives lost-come back to haunt him? As much a thriller as it is a mystery, with an ending as riveting as that in Silence of the Lambs, The Criminal Lawyer is also a love story, a novel of family secrets and crimes beyond forgiveness.
