By Terry Lewis

Book Overview

Terry Lewis's second courtroom novel features Ted's partner, Paul Morganstein. While defending his late brother's best friend on a murder charge, Paul obtains privileged information (which he is ethically bound not to disclose) leading him to conclude that his client committed another murder thirty years ago. The victim? Paul's brother. Paul takes on the biggest company with the deepest pockets in the Panhandle, defending a client who, incredibly, seems less concerned than his attorney that he's facing murder one. The deeper Paul digs, the more likely it seems his client not only killed the vice president of Pinnacle Paper Company but knows a lot more than he'll say about the death of Paul's brother, David. Investigation into the Pinnacle case is turning up new evidence that reveals more about David's life--and death--than Paul can deny. Does Paul honor the sacred oath of confidentiality and allow his brother's murderer to go free, or does he breach that duty in the interest of a higher morality, a greater justice? Moreover, will his client decide that there is really only one way to be sure that Paul doesn't disclose this "privileged information"?

Another Lewis Pageturner !

Judge Lewis's new book is on par with some of the nation's bestselling legal authors' work. Priveleged Information is not only a legal drama, but a legal thriller. Lewis's second book centers on Paul Morgenstien, whose parter, Ted was featured in Conflict of Interest. I enjoyed revisiting many of the same cast of characters. His wonderful descriptions of the people and landscape of North Florida are rich and multi-sensory. What makes Priveleged Information a page turner is the multi-faceted plot and many subplots. I was kept in suspense until the end, and loved the many twists and turns in determining the guilty character. I was intrigued by the ever growing connection between a current murder case and one from thirty years ago. Lewis give us much insight into the court system and how a legal business is run. His main character, Paul Morgenstein, is also very real. I especially enjoyed "getting inside the charater's head" when faced with several sticky situations.I think those who have read Conflict of Interest will enjoy this new title, and those who have not will find a great author in this genre of legal thrillers.
