GUEST POST
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.

All three books look and sound incredible! However, if I can only pick one, I guess, Book Three, "Killer Lawyer," sounds best. Can't wait to check out this book series! I love cat-and-mouse murder mystery books and these sound like they fit the bill!
