Martin Clark has been praised as “part John Grisham, part Hunter S. Thompson, and part sheer grit” (Denver Post). In The Legal Limit, a murder cover-up leads to a new definition of justice.
Mason Hunt escaped an embattled childhood by earning a full ride to law school. Mason, returning to his Virginia hometown to be the county’s commonwealth attorney, finds his happiness shattered by an unexpected tragedy. Things only get worse when his brother Gates, currently serving a 20-year prison term, asks Mason to use his pull to set him free. When Mason refuses, Gates hatches a plan to destroy his brother’s life with a secret they both swore they’d take to the grave.
This intricately plotted thriller questions family loyalty, the morality of law, and whether one man can escape his fate.

"I listened to this novel quite a few of years ago and found it one of the best writtenas well as best narrated audio books I'd run across, which says a lot because, prior to retiringand no longer commuting, I listened a lot. I'm surprised that a recent review of "The Substitution Order"fails to mention "The Legal Limit" when complimenting Judge Clark on his work. I'm looking forward to reading or listening to this newest offering and grateful to the author for having taken time and effort to provide more pleasure to one who so admires his creativity. "
