Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White provides the most comprehensive scholarly compilation of fictional work of legal suspense in existence. Primarily a bibliography of novels, it also annotates plays, scripts for film and television, novelizations, and short-story collections about lawyers and the law. The idea behind the principal of selection is to disdain labels that reduce the variety of the legal thriller to a subgenre of mystery fiction. Novels that range from suspense thrillers through science fiction to the philosophical novel are included if justice is thematically important. It is therefore an eclectic reference source beyond a compilation of books about lawyers as protagonists. Its biographical and scholarly information about authors, major and minor, and their novels or works is traditionally encyclopedic and objective regardless of whether the work has been genre-defined, or worse—deified as a classic or denigrated as a bestseller. Many novels included are long out of print, but historically interesting for their contribution to the lineage of the courtroom drama, showing that the history of the legal thriller is one of the major branches of modern literature since the Age of Reason. The criterion of justice denoted moves beyond the fact of lawyers and courtrooms to select seminal novels like Robert Travers' Anatomy of a Murder as well as the romantic potboiler. Among the more than 2,000 works are the Perry Mason novels of Erle Stanley Gardner, John Mortimer's Rumpole series, along with a staple of fiction by major authors of the genre like John Lescroart, Lisa Scottoline, Margaret Maron, Scott Turow, and John Grisham. There are also individual works by Shakespeare, Goethe, Kafka, Camus, and Twain delineating humanity's obsession with the law as its shining prop of civilization and, alternative, béte-noire of the common individual caught up in its maw. The appendices include comments by lawyer-novelist Michael A. Kahn, a historical introduction to the legal thriller, craft notes by writers and prominent trial lawyers responding to author and lawyer questionnaires, bibliography of critical sources and articles, series characters, and the legal terminology found in courtroom dramas and novels. An essential reference tool for scholars, researchers as well as the occasional reader of legal thrillers.

Madelyn Vanderhoef, an enchanting young actress and the wife of a Galveston shipping magnate, stands charged with murdering her alleged lover during a frolic at Tonkawa Falls. Catfish Calloway rises to her defense. The team at Calloway & Calloway faces damning circumstantial evidence, a hostile judge, a relentless prosecutor, and a crusading newspaper, but the greatest threat is Mrs. Vanderhoef herself. Indifferent to her own peril, heedless of advice, reckless in her conduct, she lies about the circumstances even to Catfish. She boards a train for the coast, her husband's steamship, and a faraway land. Is she foolish or is she hiding something? What really happened at Tonkawa Falls? Catfish must find the answer to save his most beguiling client from the gallows. Strangely, he must work side-by-side with his archrival, railroad detective Thaddeus Schoolcraft. Before it's over, Catfish's reputation and even his life are in jeopardy. The Tonkawa Falls Affair is the final book in the gripping Catfish Calloway for the Defense legal thriller trilogy. The first book, The Sporting House Killing, was a 2022 finalist for the American Bar Association's prestigious Silver Gavel Awards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Dick Donovan” was the pseudonym of James Edward Preston Murdock (1843–1934), an author of mysteries, thrillers, and horror stories. For a time, his popularity rivaled that of Arthur Conan Doyle—and he was certainly more prolific than Doyle. Between 1889 and 1922, he published nearly 300 mystery stories (many in series that were collected as books, such as this one.) Many of Muddock’s mystery stories feature the character Dick Donovan, a Glasgow Detective, named for one of the 18th Century Bow Street Runners. The character was so popular that later stories were published under this pen name. Muddock also wrote true crime stories, horror, and 37 novels, most as “Dick Donovan.” His non-fiction included four history books, seven guidebooks for areas in the Alps and his autobiography. His stories were used by The Strand magazine in months when there were no Sherlock Holmes stories available.
