But the sea was not for him. Instead, he’s among the ablest and toughest personal injury lawyers on the coast, with a very special regard for his brethren, the fishermen risking their lives in one of the toughest and most hazardous callings in the world.And he’s about the last in town I’d have expected to write as gripping an inside novel as I’ve encountered in years.The Fisherman’s Son, barrister Orlando’s first case outside the courtroom, is right from the gut, born of his heritage and his love for this ancient fishing town, his profession, his convictions, his innate anger at injustice and exploitation at sea and ashore and his compassion for their victims, all intertwined with a love story whose tenderness will bring a tear to the most jaded eye.Hooked from the start, I couldn’t put this cliffhanger down.Joseph E.
