The Gingerbread Man
He knew the law, but he forgot the rules: Never get involved with a client. And never put your family in danger. Step into the courtly world of Savannah's top-tier law firms. Meet one of the brightest young stars of the bar, Rick Magruder. And witness how his obsession with a beautiful, mysterious client, stalked by her deranged father, plunges him into a world of terrifying intrigue and deadly deceit. As a hurricane bears down on the city, Magruder finds himself locked in a battle without a judge or jury – only an executioner.
Critic Reviews:
- " More entertaining than the narrative's predictable beats are the swaths of dialogue floating in and out of focus from the support staff at Magruder's firm. " – Nicholas Bell
- " Grisham interpreted through Altman's sensability is Grisham made richer, more comic, and less predictable in its easy duality. " – Jeremy C. Fox
- " An underrated atmospheric thriller from Robert Altman " – Jon Niccum
