His brother Mason helped him cover up the crime by providing an alibi and disposing of the murder weapon. Both brothers vowed to keep the secret...until one of them, motivated by greed, decided not to.The Legal Limit is a moderately paced legal thriller about the ensuing blackmail. Gates becomes a prisoner while Mason becomes a lead prosecutor and Gates presents Mason with an ultimatum: help me get out of jail or I tell the police that you committed the 1984 murder. So, Mason can help his brother and betray the law, or be a 'straight shooter' while facing a murder indictment.This book is equal parts a legal thriller and a character exploration. Earlier, I wrote that the book is 'moderately paced." Those wanting a real "page turner" may be disappointed with this book's first half, which follows the simulteneous rise of Mason Hunt and fall of his brother, Gates. Martin Clark does a great job in "setting the stage" by painting two very intriguing characters.Even though the book may be slow-going for some, the patient will be amply rewarded by a chock-full-of-tension storyline that dominates the second half of the book. One of the most enjoyable, and tense, aspects of this book is the fact that there is no clear "right" or "wrong" side in it. While we can't help but feel sympathy for Mason Hunt, we are constantly reminded of his dilemma. If he helps his brother out of prison to save himself, he breaks the law. If he denies any involvement, he lies. If he admits involvement in covering up his brother's crime, he betrays his brother and opens himself up for possible imprisonment. Sometimes, "no win" situations are the most tense.I reccomend this book to anyone who wants the not-so-typical legal thriller. This is far more "literary" and even philosophical than John Grisham, while containing all of the firey tension (albeit not at such a blistering pace). Very entertaining. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great characters *by A***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2021* I do not usually read legal novels, but this one is gripping, because the characters are so human, likeable or hateful, realistically portrayed and the story is so interesting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ realistic, complicated, and riveting *by A***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2008* The difference between "The Legal Limit" and other books about lawyers/court cases is that in "The Legal Limit" the reader gets an in-depth honest look at the complicated issues lawyers and judges face in their jobs and in their personal lives. This is true of "The Legal Limit" in part because it is based on a true event, Clark uses many real people in his book, and he is himself a judge.However, this is more than a book about a crime in a specific locale. "The Legal Limit" is a fast-paced, riveting story that could be set anywhere. It's a story about relationships (about which Clark writes so well) as well as difficult situations where the law must be followed but sometimes is unjust.I read this book in a day. When I finished, I was impressed by Clark's skill as a writer. His previous books (The Many Aspects of Mobile Home Living and Plain Heathen Mischief) are excellent, but it's clear Clark's heart is in "The Legal Limit." He must be a compassionate judge, which is good for anyone who comes into his court, but after reading this book, I think readers hope he will give up his full-time job for writing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/20373980-the-legal-limit](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/20373980-the-legal-limit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
