Coached football and wore a houndstooth hat.” Bailey, Robert (2015-08-18). The Professor (McMurtrie and Drake Legal Thrillers Book 1) (Kindle Locations 4169-4170). Thomas & Mercer. Kindle Edition. An excellent legal thriller. Tom McMurtrie (a/k/a "The Professor") wrote the book on evidence in the state of Alabama, is suddenly forced to resign from the University of Alabama law school by a former protégé (now prosecutor), thought to be a friend. At the same time, he is approached by an old flame about a wrongful death case, where she has lost her descendants in a catastrophic accident with a speeding truck driver. Having not litigated for 40 years, Tom refers the case to a local attorney, Rick Drake, whose promising law career submarined after a scuffle with Tom after a mock trial. With the capable assistance of Tom's law student Dawn, Drake starts to compile his case against the trucking company for violating regulations, but the ruthless owner interferes at every stage, eventually forcing Drake to ask Tom for help. Some sections may be too graphic for readers. I especially liked the support provided to Tom by his dog, his student Bocephus, and the homage to the 1961 Alabama Crimson Tide, who surrendered only 25 points that season on its way to a national championship. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
