The Hallows

Written by Victor Methos

Narrated by Alexander Cendese

Winner of the Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction.

A ruthless lawyer cross-examines his life after a guilty client walks free in this sharp legal thriller from the bestselling author of The Neon Lawyer.

Ruthless defense attorney Tatum Graham has been living large in Miami, but when his recently acquitted client claims another victim, Tatum has a crisis of conscience. Disillusioned, he heads to his small Utah hometown for a simpler life…but that’s not what he finds.

Soon after he arrives, Tatum’s childhood crush offers him a job at the county attorney’s office and assigns him a murder case. The victim is a teenage girl not unlike the victim in the last case he tried. Now a prosecutor, Tatum sees a chance for redemption, but politics, corruption, and a killer defense threaten to thwart justice.

To complicate matters, Tatum’s estranged father has terminal cancer, and the time to reconcile is running out. Tatum moved to Utah to find clarity, but his thoughts swirl with old feelings and present dangers. As the case heats up, so does the risk, threatening to adjourn Tatum’s new life before it begins.

Victor Methos

At the age of thirteen, when his best friend was interrogated by the police for over eight hours and confessed to a crime he didn’t commit, Victor Methos knew he would one day become a lawyer. After graduating from the University of Utah School of Law, Methos sharpened his teeth as a prosecutor for Salt Lake City before founding what would become the most successful criminal defense firm in Utah. In ten years Methos conducted more than one hundred trials. One particular case stuck with him, and it eventually became the basis for his first major bestseller, The Neon Lawyer. Since that time, Methos has focused his work on legal thrillers and mysteries, earning a Best Novel Edgar nomination for his title A Gambler’s Jury. He currently splits his time between Southern Utah and Las Vegas.

[Garland Wilson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed this book for the beginning to the end.

[Jason Wesley · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Interesting story but the narration of all the female characters was horrible. They all sounded like a cross of an old female smoker and a young boy trying to find his voice. It was painful to listen to.

It wasn't great literature, but I found this a page turner.

Interesting story of corruption and murder in the small town of River Falls, Utah, where everything is outdated and rustic. When Tatum Graham, a highly respected defense attorney from Miami, returns to his hometown to "find himself", he unknowingly becomes part of the prosecution team for the biggest murder trial to hit this rural community in ten years. While tracking the bad guys, he reconnects with his dying father and the girl he left behind and eventually discovers what's important in life. Filled with interesting characters and surprises left and right, this was an entertaining legal thriller.
