High marks from critics for Lawyer Brent Marks: "Kenneth Eade is one of the up and coming legal thriller authors of this generation." John Ellsworth, Author Thaddeus Murphy Legal Thriller Series
"Eade, a lawyer by profession, weaves legal dialogue, corruption and international action to create a pacey read with echoes of Grisham, Baldacci and Clancy nipping at his writing heels. Law issues as well as forensics and police procedures are clearly explained with such authority as to add gritty realism in and out of the courthouse, but it's within the court drama that Eade really packs some punch." - SPR Review
