The Good Lawyer

A Novel

By: Thomas Benigno

Narrated by: Dan Triandiflou

Inspired by a true story.

A young, ambitious lawyer is eager to prove he is better than the mobster-dominated family he grew up in. Working as a Bronx Legal Aid attorney, he learns how to twist the system, how to become an unbeatable defense lawyer. But it's 1982. The Spiderman rapist is on the loose and New York City is a city in fear. When an outraged victim commits suicide right before his eyes, searching for absolution and determined to prove his client's innocence, he knocks the pegs out from under the prosecution's case.

Digging deeper, horrifying revelations about his family's past collide with the true identity of the sadistic sociopath behind the real Spiderman's rampage. In the process, this good lawyer comes face-to-face with his greatest conflict and deepest fear: to win, really win, must he sacrifice every principle he believes in and embrace his family's mafia past to become judge, jury, and executioner?

Great book to listen to.

As I listen, it keeps getting better and better with many twists. Very interesting read. I like legal thrillers and this is a good one. I like the narrator as well. Perfect for the book.

Pretty good

Entertaining but predictable and somewhat silly but entertaining. I might even get next one. In the series

Very enjoyable

This is the story of a legal aid lawyer. Although the lawyer has several cases throughout the book, the author does a good job of distinguishing between the characters. As a southerner, I can't judge the authenticity of an Italian NY accent, but I enjoyed the narrator's telling of the tale.

Amazingly good.

So we'll done you can not believe this is his first book. I cam not wait for his next one. once I started listening I could not stop and spent the next 11 hours engrossed in the story.

It’s not Grisham

The storyline isn’t bad but could have used more technical input. The characters are difficult to endear oneself to. All in all it fills time on long trips. The performance is pretty good.
