If Arthur Hailey had written about the world of corporate law, the result would have been like this one, more or less. It details the inner workings of a top notch corporate law firm, through a few days in the lives of its partners and associates. The story is engaging for the most part, with a few solid characters and some fast legal action.
But, there was too much legal technicalities towards the end, and some unconvincing characters, which made me enjoy it less than I would have liked.

I could not get into this one -- too many characters introduced for no apparent reason -- all somehow connected to the secret group of WASP New Yorkers who have run the city for 200 years. Attitude towards women rather disgusting.

Another great story from this guy. I'm so sorry that so much of his stuff is out of print... This time lawyer Jake Martin risks his partnership in the firm of his dreams to defend the young widow of a very old, rich man. Coughlin never takes the cheap way out and in this story there were plenty of opportunities.

I've had three Couglin used paperbacks on my shelf for a long time now. I can't remember where/when/why I got them nor why I'd never read any of them... So looking for my next read, I snagged the first one. They are legal mysteries and this one started off slowly but at about the point where I usually make the decision to keep reading or toss, I realized he had me hooked. Charley Sloan is a washed up attorney who's career was tanked by alcoholism... He's hired for a huge case and starts to muddle his way through... There are lots of nice twists and turns here and I really grew from boredom with Charley to really liking him and being grateful that I've got two more stories about him right on my own shelf!… (altro)
