Wild Justice by Phillip Margolin
Great Read!
When a killing field is unearthed in the Oregon woods, its linked to a
Portland surgeon whose increasingly aggressive behavior and explosive
temper have already drawn the attention of his colleagues. Neophyte
attorney Amanda Jaffe takes second chair to her father, a successful
criminal lawyer retained by Dr. Vincent Cardoni when he is charged with
multiple counts of murder. The victims have one thing in common: they
are missing vital organs, which were clearly harvested by an expert
surgeon. In this explosive and fast-paced suspense thriller, the forensic
evidence against Cardoni is so convincing that even after his acquittal on
a technicality, the reader, like Amanda, is sure of his guilt. And when a
similar field of mutilated bodies turns up years later, Cardoni is again the
primary suspect. But Cardoni has disappeared, and this time its his
former wife, Justine Castle, whos implicated in the new crimes, and
Amanda whos retained as the lead attorney in the case. The particulars
of the killings are so similar to the first set of murders that A manda is
convinced Cardoni is involved. When he is found to be working at the
same hospital where he was once a promising surgeon (this time as a
custodian and under an assumed name), she draws the logical
conclusion. But when she finds Cardonis severed hand at the scene of
the crimes, she is forced to rethink the assumptions on which her defense
of the doctors ex-wife is based. Could Justine, in fact, be the killer?
Author Phillip Margolins newest book moves at an almost frantic pace.
Bodies pile up, evidence mounts, and everything points to Cardonis guilt
until the end, a stunner that surprises Amanda as well as the reader. This
chilling, deftly crafted novel will hold the readers attention to the last
page. --Jane Adams

I just finished this book and to be honest I thought it lived up to the
reviews, from both critics and amazon reviewers. The book was very well
written, the plot was exciting and really kept you guessing. I saw some
amazon reviews from people who thought the book was too graphic. All I
have to say is it's a book about a horrible serial killer - what did they
expect? Also, to be fair, the book never details scenes of the killer torturing
his victims - the author just says that the killer does torture his victims. I
have read books that are far more graphic by Jeffrey Deaver and Tess
Gerritsen to name a few and I felt that a few scenes in those books were
too graphic and unnecessarily so - just for the author to get a "response"
from the reader. Wild Justice does not do that, the plot is exciting on its
own and the book is better without unnecessary explicit details. I highly
recommend it as a great pager turner!
