Book Review & Giveaway || Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie by Mark Nolan

Disclosure: I received an advance copy of this book for review purposes from Beck Valley Books Book Tours. I am not being financially compensated for this post, all opinions expressed are my own honest opinion.

A mysterious killer who calls himself The Artist is assassinating wealthy lawyers in San Francisco. When war veteran Jake Wolfe accidentally takes his picture during a murder, The Artist adds Jake to his kill list and he becomes a target in a deadly game of cat and mouse that only one of them can survive. How far would you go to protect your loved ones from a killer? Jake wants to leave his top secret, violent past life behind him. But the reluctant, flawed hero can’t ignore his duty and his personal moral compass.

This gripping thriller is full of suspense, plot twists and surprises. It features a cast of interesting characters, including several strong-willed women, two wise-cracking San Francisco Police Homicide Inspectors, one highly intelligent dog, and a philosophical killer who shares Jake’s admiration for Van Gogh paintings but still plans to kill him anyway. As Jake gets closer to unraveling a merciless conspiracy, his life gets turned upside down and the danger level increases, adding to the growing suspense. This entertaining page-turner starts out as a murder mystery and then shifts gears into a high-speed action thriller that takes you on a roller-coaster ride to the riveting ending. A good read for those who enjoy mysteries, suspense, action and adventure, vigilante justice, unique characters, witty dialogue and a little romance too. Now on sale in over a dozen countries around the world. Be the first among your friends to read it.

MY THOUGHTS: This novel begins with Richard Caxton in court defending a wealthy and guilty client, internally gloating about his skill to convince a jury to vote his clients not guilty despite the facts. Caxton goes to the club to celebrate with colleagues, and and gloat about their wealth, when his celebrations come to an abrupt end. Jack Wolfe, a former war veteran, now photojournalist, is on the hunt for a story and during his surveillance is witness to Caxton’s demise. As it turns out, Caxton is just the opening act of a trail of bodies, and what appears to be the act of a vigilante.

This is my first novel written by Mark Nolan and I am excited to read the next chapter of the Jack Wolfe saga. This is a suspense filled novel with some unexpected turns that will keep you guessing. I will be adding Nolan to my list of suspense authors to read.

Fans of new Kindle Unlimited novels will be happy to know this book is one of the best financial thrillers in kindle unlimited books.
