If You Like Thomas Benigno Books, You’ll Love…
Thomas’ first novel is The Good Lawyer which has drawn favorable comparisons to early John Grisham novels. This book introduces us to the titular character, Nick Mannino, as a young legal Aid attorney who is tasked with defending a teacher’s assistant accused of child molestation. Nick starts to piece together the case and he gets into quite the ethical dilemma which will challenge his standing as a “good lawyer”. This is quite the legal thriller and feels very “ripped” from the headlines probably because it basically was.
His follow-up book is called The Criminal Lawyer and it is as much a thriller as it is a mystery. It involves a serial killer in Long Island who is dumping the beach with the bones of his female victims. Feeling a sense of New York pride while being haunted by his family secret, has Nick desperately wanting to solve this case.
