WORTHY BROWN'S DAUGHTER

Phillip M. Margolin

Recently widowed attorney Matthew Penny has come to Oregon to start fresh. He specializes in the disenfranchised and stumbles into the most challenging case of his career when a former slave, Worthy Brown, asks him to save his teenage daughter from the man who once owned them. Little does Matthew know that he will end up defending a much more serious charge, with both his and Worthy's lives at stake. Internationally bestselling author Phillip Margolin's compelling insider's view of criminal behavior comes from his unique background as a longtime criminal defense attorney. Margolin has been published in over 25 countries and has written sixteen New York Times bestsellers. He was an Edgar Award nominee for HEARTSTONE. Margolin's WILD JUSTICE, AFTER DARK, and GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN were main selections of the Literary Guild. He currently lives in Portland, Oregon.

Margolin shines in recreating pioneer life...There's legal wrangling, murder, and romance, set against the backdrop of race and frontier life...His scene-setting, knowledge of the frontier and relating of the hard task of the law make for an appealing read.

Throw in a money-grubbing beauty, a smitten judge, a few loudmouth hotheads, and at least two legal beagles willing to bend the law, and the Old West comes alive in heart-wrenching, violent, and wicked racist color...Legal thriller and western fans will stay with it to the last page... Margolin's novel offers a compelling portrait of small town justice done righteventually.
