Then, in the summer of 2020, he’s assigned to a grotesque murder case that brings national media focus to rural Patrick County, Virginia—Alicia Benson, the wife of a wealthy businessman, is murdered in her home. The accused killer, Damian Bullins, is a cunning felon with a long history of violence, and he confesses to the police. He even admits his guilt to Andy. But a simple typographical error and a shocking discovery begin to complicate the state’s case, making it possible Bullins might escape punishment. Duty-bound to give his client a thorough defense, Andy—despite his misgivings—agrees to fight for a not-guilty verdict, a decision that will ultimately force him to make profound, life-and-death choices, both inside and \u003ci\u003eoutside\u003c\/i\u003e the courtroom.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its unforgettable characters, spot-on blueprint of the justice system, intricate plotting, and provocative, no-holds-barred ending, \u003ci\u003eThe Plinko Bounce\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates once again why Martin Clark has been called “the thinking man’s John Grisham” by \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and praised as “hands down, our finest legal-thriller writer” by \u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57043725091190,"sku":"9781644283776","price":21.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28056036.jpg?v=1768198376","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781644283776-the-plinko-bounce","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
