Dear Librarian, If your library’s patrons or reading groups would enjoy a cutting-edge novel that, in the words of Library Journal, “turns the legal thriller genre upside down,” then they’ll love THE ONLY PURE THING, “a legal thriller full of grit and charm and telling details from every link in the justice system food chain.” Michael Connelly Murder is like real estate because the key to it all is location, location, location. So says defense attorney Stuart Clay, whose client winds up in a high-rent district uproar after the police discover a businessman’s head on a Georgetown parking meter. Cleveland Barnes is arrested pushing a shopping cart of empty cans and wearing bloodied Bally loafers. As the corpse lost both head and shoes, the police book Cleveland for murder. Inspired by my 1300+ criminal cases in the Washington, D.C. courts, THE ONLY PURE THING is a page-turner about the other Washington, D.C. Booklist says that “Much like George Pelecanos, Hyde knows all the nooks and crannies, all the dusty alleyways and grotty street corners, that hover behind the capital city's shiny façade.” I’d have dozens of stories to share- about twenty years as a trial lawyer, my life as a writer, and more - at book-group meetings and other gatherings. Send me an e-mail to arrange a phone meeting or see the booktrailers shot on location in Washington D.C. and nonfiction essays at www.patrickhyde.com.
