Product Description
From the Author
MARKER received widespread raves
USA Today called MARKER "on the money." Continuing, "MARKER . . . might be called the Detroit school of thriller writing, of which veteran true crime reporter Lowell Cauffiel is now the latest -- and one of the best -- exemplars. The elements are familiar to readers of the school's master, Elmore Leonard: fast pace, tight plot and dialogue that cracks forth, machine-gun style, in short but powerful bursts." Says Booklist: "Cauffiel, an acclaimed author of true-crime books, may remind readers of a young, tough Elmore Leonard. Cauffiel, like Leonard, understand that it isn't the protagonist who makes a crime novel, it's the villain . . . a memorable fiction debut." Of MARKER, Elmore Leonard himself said: "Cauffiel knows how to make it sound real." And Johathan Kellerman called MARKER "A meticulously plotted page-turner."

Marker is marvelous
17 July 2000
Format:Hardcover
I don't usually read the truly gritty novels, but this one caught my attention from the very beginning. Who could resist a novel that begins with yellow smiley faces on the walls of the Jackson prison and a convict who thinks he knows it all? Then there's the judge, a cocky personality who thinks he's got it all under control.
The judge is a boozer & also does drugs. Unwillingly he goes to Alcoholics Anonymous and then his house of cards begins to tumble down around his head. Everything seems to be going wrong.
Excellent writing, marvelous flow to the narrative and an insightful peek into the psyches of the various people involved. Highly recommended.
