I just started your new novel your latest novel on number one lawyer sort of a classic sort of a classic character classic premise um don't spoil it for me don't spoil it for anyone uh but just you know tell people who this guy's about
well the number one lawyer first of all i'm a total junkie for lawyer stories and and murder trials i love them um what i wanted to do there was to do something it would rival the stuff that i've really loved in the past and in this case you have a really really popular lawyer uh really successful lawyers never lost a case and down in Mississippi he has to go to court and the reason he has to go to the court is he's been accused of murdering his wife in cold blood there's a fair amount of evidence and he decides he's against a lot of advice that he's going to defend himself uh and i love that scenario it's just uh it's kind of irresistible for anybody who loves drama and suspense and melodrama which i which i love as well uh and um you know so that's and there are a lot of elements obviously to it i like doing it in Mississippi it's right on the golf and he actually at one point he has to get out of the law for a while and he becomes a lifeguard on the beaches in boaxi which is interesting and then and then he goes back into being a lawyer to solve cases and you know i just i love the whole scenario the whole story of it is it's kind of and you know when you start when i start one of these novels i always hope they're going to turn out well and sometimes not so much but this one turned out really well number one lawyer it's really nobody's going to be disappointed with it i don't think
it's for sure too uh gira number three which which we're taking to film at this stage and then uh i suspect number one lawyer will get would be a get option too yeah
