“There is a reason Matt Murphy never lost a murder trial. He’s not just a legendary lawyer – obsessive about details, compulsive about achieving justice, hardworking to a fault – as his Book of Murder reveals, and as anyone who has heard him spellbind a jury knows, he is a master storyteller. His writing transports the reader into those cold early morning Orange County crime scenes, where he and his team need to make those initial assessments about what the hell happened to that particular victim, and into the courtroom, where he jousts with defendants and their lawyers. Murphy has ceded a “normal life” to the craft of crime busting… and the combination of passion, ferocious dedication, and talent makes for the kind of grist crime junkies will devour.”
