 THE PORTAL is not for the Faint of Heart
Fasten your seatbelt,
because from the moment the story takes off, it’s a thrill-a-minute
ride through the Amazon wilderness, a World War II adventure,
and a quick trip to the future . . . well, for us, the present.
Love the characters or love to hate them, cheer the good guys,
boo the bad. And limber up your fingers or you won’t be
able to turn the pages fast enough to keep up. Jack Sullivan,
all-around good guy, is tossed out of the Army Air Corps boot
camp because of a long-past episode with asthma. He thought things
couldn’t get much worse, then he’s forced to flee
the country when he’s framed for the murder of an ex-girlfriend’s
husband because the conniving cutie and Jack are caught together,
sort of, well, naked.

 How Far Can Someone Bend the Law Before They
Break It?
Justin Cartwright II is a real bastard of a lawyer
and he’s not much more attractive as a person. In court,
he tends to skate right up to the edge of what’s ethical
and is not averse to slipping over if it means winning a case.
Anderson Parker is just the opposite; bright, resourceful, and
integrity is his middle name. No wonder it’s so satisfying
when Parker tells Cartwright, who happens to be his boss, to take
his job and… well, you get the picture.
It’s also something like poetic justice when,
after the rift, these two attorneys face off on opposite sides
of a legal battle in which two young children and an adult man
have been killed in a boating accident. We know who’s responsible.
What we don’t know is whether they will be brought to justice.
With Cartwright’s nasty tactics, and a bungling third party’s
lawyer, we’re in suspense right up to the end.
Green 61 is a real “I know it’s
late, but I just don’t want to put it down” kind of
a book. It’s all the more so because it was written by a
successful attorney who knows the legal system inside and out,
and is well acquainted with the tactics—savory and less so—of
those who work in it. It’s authentic, it’s believable,
and it’s absolutely engaging from the first sentence through
to the last.
If an intriguing story and spending time inside the
heads of real characters is what you’re looking for, you
have found it in Green 61.

Anacacho
by Louise Gaylord
Nothing's Sure but Death in
Texas!
Allie Armington is a bright, successful and self-reliant young
Texas attorney coming up to the top of her game. But that independent
streak just might be the death of her. Of course, she doesn't admit
it until she's about thigh deep in a conspiracy involving cattle,
oil and drugs... and the man she once thought she was going to
marry until he ended up with her best friend.
Anacacho smiles at you, gently beckons, then sucks you in. And
it's so subtle you don't even realize you're hooked until you try
and put it down. It has terrific characters but the problem is,
you never know which ones you can trust.
It's a good thing this is the first in a series of Allie Armington
mysteries because once you meet her you're going to want more and
more of her.
