The Legal Limit Book

Martin Clarkâ??s most remarkable novel yet is the gripping, complex story of a murder cover-up that wreaks widespread havoc even as it redefines the concept of justiceâ??a relentlessly entertaining saga that delves deeply into matters at once ambiguous and essential.While Gates Hunt chose to fight his abusive father head-on, his younger brother, Mason, eventually escaped their bitter, impoverished circumstances by earning a free ride to college and law school. And while Gates became an intransigent, compulsive felon, Mason met and married the love of his life, had a spitfire daughter, and returned to his rural hometown as the commonwealthâ??s attorney. But Masonâ??s idyll is abruptly pierced by a wicked tragedy, and soon afterward his life further unravels when Gates, convinced that his brotherâ??s legal influence should spring him from prison, attempts to force his cooperation by means of a secret theyâ??d both sworn to take with them to the grave. And with his closest friend and staunch ally suddenly threatened by secrets of his own, Mason ultimately finds himself facing complete ruin and desperately defending everything and everyone he holds dear.Intricately plotted and shot through with authenticity, The Legal Limit is a roller coaster of moral relevance.
