Every marriage has a secret, but this one is deadly.

Lauren thought she had it all: a loving partner, two great kids, a successful business, and a beautiful home in the San Francisco hills. But all of that is about to come crashing down, due to a missing husband, a hidden past, and a frightening secret that will shock a trusting wife to the core.

Fun Facts About KILLER LAWYER
Mark Nolan rarely ventures out of his
writing den to do interviews, and seldom talks about himself on social media,
but he’s always happy to answer emails from readers. We managed to talk him
into giving us some fun facts about his latest book.
What is Killer Lawyer about?
Jake Wolfe is a young lawyer with a
secret past that keeps catching up with him. He served as an infantry Marine,
and briefly as a CIA covert operative who took out high-value targets overseas.
Now he wants to live in peace, build his solo law practice and try to hang onto
the rocky relationship with his girlfriend, Sarah Chance (who is keeping a
secret from him). But when a serial killer frames him for the murder of a
friend, Jake feels he has no choice but to find and stop the killer before he
strikes again, close to home. He and his adopted war dog, Cody, search for
clues, and hunt down the mysterious criminal in a deadly race against time.
What do readers like about the
book?
Killer Lawyer includes a mystery
investigation, surprising twists and turns, enjoyable character development,
and a few scenes where readers get to see the point of view (POV) of the highly
intelligent and well-trained dog. Many readers say Cody is their favorite
character. A few other
people are outraged though, and ask,
“How dare you show the POV of a dog?” Oh, the controversy! Your mileage may
vary, but if you’re open-minded you’ll probably enjoy Cody’s amusing antics and
simple view of the world. Some other bestselling books that show a dog’s point
of view include: The
Art of Racing in the Rain by
Garth Stein, Watchers
by
Dean Koontz, One
Good Dog by
Susan Wilson, the Chet
and Bernie Mysteries by
Spencer Quinn, and the other two Jake Wolfe novels titled Dead
Lawyers Don’t Lie (Book 1), and Vigilante
Assassin (Book
2).
What kind of research went into
the novel?
This story required quite a lot of
research, so much that the book includes a “Dear Reader” section at the end to
explain what is real and what is not (most of it is frighteningly real).
Readers are surprised at all of the amazing-buttrue parts of the story. Truth
is often stranger than fiction. That end note contains spoilers, however, so be
sure to read the book first, before reading the Dear Reader section at the end.
Is that the Golden Gate Bridge on
the book cover?
Yes, the story is set in San Francisco,
and Jake lives on the other side of the bridge in Sausalito, on a boat at a
yacht harbor. He often drives across the bridge, or cruises his power yacht
underneath it. His best friend, Terrell Hayes is a detective with SFPD
Homicide. The two of them served in the Marines, and while deployed in the
desert, Terrell saved Jake’s life with a blood transfusion. Now they are blood
brothers and best friends forever. If Jake had his way, he’d just go boating
and fishing every day. He
sometimes feels San Francisco is too
expensive and crowded, and he threatens to cruise away to
Fiji, but so far he has remained in the
the Bay Area because of friends and family.
Is this book part of a series? Can
it be read as a stand-alone?
Killer Lawyer is book number three in
the Jake Wolfe thriller series. It can be read as a standalone,
but some folks prefer to read the books
in order. Many people say it should be called the
Jake and Cody series, because the war
dog is always at Jake’s side and has saved his life in the past. In one of the
books, a character tells Jake, “Cody is so loyal he’d follow you into Hell and
fight the devil.” Jake is highly protective of his four-footed best friend, and
as a former war dog handler, he works together with him so well it’s almost as
if they can read each other’s minds up and down the leash. For
those who are interested in war dogs
and their handlers, a good book on the subject is Sergeant
Rex: The Unbreakable Bond
Between a Marine and His Military Working Dog, by Mike
Dowling, US Marine Sergeant and
military war dog (MWD) handler.
What does the future hold for Jake
and Cody?
Book number four is coming soon. In
that story, Jake and Cody go on a trip and cruise the Far
Niente to
distant harbors. Along the way they have all kinds of adventures and get into
plenty of trouble. Of course! Readers wouldn’t have it any other way.
