Their Word is Law: Popular Lawyer-Novelists Talk About Their Craft
Their Word Is Law: Popular Lawyer-Novelists Talk About Their Craft is a nonfiction interview collection by Stephen M. Murphy, published in 2002. The book brings together conversations with well-known authors who also trained or worked as lawyers, including David Baldacci, John Grisham, Linda Fairstein, Lisa Scottoline, Steve Martini, Richard North Patterson, Scott Turow, and others. Rather than focusing on one fictional case or series, the collection looks at how legal experience shapes suspense writing, courtroom scenes, character conflict, and ideas of justice. For readers of legal thrillers, it offers useful background on the people behind some of the genre’s most recognizable books.
