Loose Among The Lambs

"Dynamic courtroom drama... Blackwell is an appealing and vulnerable protagonist surrounded by brilliantly credible supporting characters." -- Publisher's Weekly. Mark Blackwell, star of the Edgar-nominated FADE THE HEAT, returns in another legal thriller set in San Antonio, Texas. In this one the stakes are very high, because he's seeking out then prosecuting a child molester. The defendant is a wily protagonist defended by Mark's mentor Eliot Quinn, who taught him much of what he knows about trying cases. The stakes are high because the defendant could be as innocent as protests. If not, he will surely find other victims. Mark is also caught up in a re-election campaign and a new romance. Laurie Trimble of the Dallas Morning News said of LAMBS, "Dramatic... A novel of strong motivation, deep emotions and intense compassion." Chris Petrakos of the Chicago Tribune said that this novel "rises above the crowd... Tensely drawn and... convincing." Featuring a new introduction by the author written for this 2013 edition.
