5.0 out of 5 stars Is there such a thing as an Inocent Man?, May 20 2004

By A Customer

Another great book by Philip Margolin. This book is about a lawyer who is asked to defend a man who is accused of killing a prostitute. This book is a mystery but it also deals with a lawyer who is questioning the reasons of why he is a lawyer. I think at some point, any criminal lawyer with integrity starts questioning the reasons why they are defending criminals. The thing that makes this book so remarkable is that it really opened my eyes about the legal system. Sometimes you wonder how lawyers can defend people that commit heinous crimes and this books explains why even the worst serial killer is entitled to a proper defense. After reading this book and enjoying the storyline, I also had a new respect for our legal system. It may not always work in favor of the innocent party but most time you do get the bad guy and you lock em up and throw away the key.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a book!!!, Jan 21 2003

By	"intentaccess" (Boca Raton, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

This is my first book read by this author. Excellent work, I was overly impressed.
This book was filled with the best characters, the best developing plot and the best conclusion. A truly wonderful thriller!

An innocent man is on trial for the rape and murder of a prostitute who was really an undercover cop. David Nash, a defense attorney, must put his career on the line to find the real murderer before the Innocent Man will become the Guilty Man.

This author truly has talent as I normally stay away from the courtroom drama. Suspense would pop out at the simplest element. My attention got me where I could not put the book down until I had read the entire thing. The ending is not what you expect at all.
Don't miss this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars A thriller to remember, Dec 2 2002

By	Paul Skinner (Manassas, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

My hat is off to Mr Margolin, who composed one of the finest thrillers ever written. This outstanding book takes you through the courtroom and puts the protagonist into personal danger as he battles the most evil man outside of Max Cady in John D. MacDonald's "Cape Fear". I figured the murders out about halfway into the book, but that did not diminish my joy in reading how the protagonist would survive this nightmare. In a nutshell, our hero also knows who the bad guy is, but is helpless to do anything about it. You too will feel his anguish as he attempts to come up with some way to stop the killer before he kills again.

5.0 out of 5 stars MARGOLIN DOES IT AGAIN!
"The Last Innocent Man" is another example of Phillip Margolin's excellent writing. While some may claim his characters appear superficial, I don't agree. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent, if superficial, thriller
I get the sense that there is a classic inside this author. This is the second book I've read by Phillip Margolin, and I found the same strengths and weaknesses in both... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great story
I really enjoyed this book. It's a quick, fast-paced read with only a few dull courtoom scenes. I highly recommend this one.
