No website and funny enough all 4 of his books were published the same year - 2011. I wonder if all that lawyering is keeping him too busy to write. On the basis of my first outing with him that's a shame.Murphy's novella Everything I Tell You is a Lie appeared on the blog a few days ago. Thoughts here.
The two I'm highlighting are Follow the Money and $200 and a Cadillac. I could just as easily chosen The Flaming Motel, but then it would have been a 3 BY feature and that just wouldn't cut it.
Follow the Money (2011)
"MOVE OVER JOHN GRISHAM!" -- Debbi Mack, NY Times Bestselling Author of Identity Crisis and Least Wanted
FOR FANS OF JOHN GRISHAM, STEVE MARTINI, JOHN LESCROART, AND JAMES GRIPPANDO COMES A GRIPPING AND GRITTY NEW VOICE IN LEGAL THRILLERS. GET READY TO LOSE SOME SLEEP!
"ALWAYS ASSUME PEOPLE ARE LYING, BUT NEVER ASSUME YOU KNOW WHY."
Oliver Olson went to law school to help people.
But when one of the world’s most prominent law firms offers him a high paying summer job, he thinks he’d be crazy not to take it. He soon finds himself enthralled by a world of wealth, privilege, and power.
Blinded by his gilded new world, Ollie is slow to see that something is not right with the case he is assigned to work on - a case with no chance of winning, given to a "summer associate" merely to keep him busy.
Are people following him? Is he imagining things? Are they listening to his conversations? Why are people coming out of the woodwork with a sudden interest in a twelve year old murder case? And is it really possible that the wrong man went to prison?
Ollie wants to succeed, but when he sacrifices his own moral standards for a shot at the big time, he winds up staring down the barrel of a gun.
When you’ve sold out and can no longer follow your heart, you can only FOLLOW THE MONEY.
This novel is 75,000 fast-paced words.

Thanks to your blog, I downloaded a Fingers Murphy kindle book only yesterday - goodness knows when I shall actually get to it though, it's a metaphorical TBR heap rather than a pile now :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I suppose a heap is smaller than a hill or a mountain! Hope you enjoy it, when the time comes.
DeleteFrom what you've said, Col, it sounds as though he has some well-written stories out there. And I do love that pseudonym!
ReplyDeleteI think so too and its definitely a pseudonym that demands attention.
DeleteI like the way he is described as a 'globe-trotting criminal attorney' - is that so he can't be caught & brought to justice??
DeleteHmm, I might have played a bit fast and loose with the word globe-trotting, his Amazon page says INTERNATIONAL! Maybe if I was in his position I'd stay off the grid. Lawyers, politicians, estate agents, spin doctors....grrr
DeleteHe sounds like a very interesting person.
ReplyDeleteHe's piqued my curiosity - particularly the four books in one year thing, then nothing
DeleteMmmm, this whole setup is definitely intriguing...
ReplyDeleteWorth a look, perhaps.
DeleteCol –$200 Caddie is for me. Thanks for pointing the way.
ReplyDeleteElgin, I hope you enjoy this one.
