the Last City Attorney: A Novel of Law

Some lawyers build a career on knowing the law. August "Gus" Cordell built his on knowing what the law does to people. For over forty years he has been the attorney Texas towns call when the trouble is real, the one who can keep a city on the right side of its own ordinances and win the cases no one else will touch. The Gus Cordell Series follows him into the matters where the lawful answer and the right one stop agreeing: a thirty-one-year-old statute revived to silence a reporter, a municipal court that turns poverty into revenue, a county that would rather be right in the record than right in fact. Set in the limestone county seats of the Texas Hill Country and written in spare, deliberate prose, these are legal novels about the people the system forgets and the lawyer who has stopped being able to. The series opens with The Last City Attorney.
