Ben Kincaid #3
Deadly Justice
A struggling Tulsa lawyer accepts a six-figure job--but the price may far outweigh the "Bernhardt just gets better and better" (The Daily Oklahoman).
Since he fled the dehumanizing tedium of corporate law, Ben Kincaid has scratched out a living on the rough side of Tulsa, working cases strictly related to the three divorce, deeds, and dog bites. So when the state's largest corporation, the Apollo Consortium, offers him six figures to join them as in-house counsel, he can't turn down the pay raise. But if the Apollo partners think they've hired a legal stooge, they're wrong. Kincaid is a bloodhound, determined to sniff out the truth no matter the cost. As Kincaid tries to fit in at his new offices, a serial killer stalks Tulsa, luring young women into his car before chopping them into bits. But these horrors pale in comparison to the infighting at Apollo. And when he comes out on the wrong side of a turf war, Kincaid finds himself defending a hapless loser against a murder charge. The client's Ben Kincaid.

Four months have elapsed since I last checked in with Ben Kincaid, the Tulsa lawyer who left a cushy job in corporate law to strike out on his own. It’s good to be back, if only to see how he and his flamboyant legal assistant are doing. I can’t help but hope good things for this as-yet not-a-couple couple.
Ben Kincaid is fresh off a case in which he spectacularly ruined the credibility of a crucial witness for the opposition. Flush from that victory, Ben waits for his assistant to pack up their things. While he waits, a man approaches and offers him a top-flight job for an oil and entertainment consortium. He would be part of the large legal staff of the organization, and he would have a six-figure salary if he accepted. Of course, he insisted that he bring his legal assistant along, and later that night she expresses real reluctance at the change. She worries that it won't be the right fit for Ben. She points out the areas in which he had made mistakes before regarding his career, but he insists he needs the money and even if it's not all about the money he could use whatever other benefits he accrues by accepting the offer. He signs on to the new position, and against her better judgment, she follows him.
The new job is a Vipers nest of hate and any number of sexual activities that ought not to go on in any office. Before Ben finishes his second day, he opens the door to his office, and the body of his supervisor falls on Ben. Ben’s colleague, Rob, uses his first-aid training to pronounce the supervisor dead. Ben rushes to another office to summon law-enforcement help. When he returns, the body is gone. When the cops find it, Ben is a person of interest in the case.
But the cops have a lot of things on their mind these days in Tulsa. Someone is murdering teenage prostitutes and leaving the bodies devoid of their hands and heads. That makes it harder to identify the girls, as you might understand. Ben's cop friend and ex-brother-in-law, Mike, is on that case. While he intercedes in Ben's behalf, he can't hold off the inevitable for long. If Ben can't find answers as to who killed his boss, Ben will be off to prison
I love every book in this series I have read so far. The author is an absolute grand master at creating seemingly hopeless horrible situations, and then somehow in the final few sentences of a given chapter, providing an escape for what seems to be an inescapable hopeless nightmare. It astounds me how well he builds and builds his suspense and tension, and you can't help but lean forward and embrace that as you read the book. I finished this in a single night, and I couldn't stop. There's one scene in which a young teenage girl brutally dies, and I wish the author had found some better way to write that scene, but I understand why it was necessary. The writing style is memorably compelling, and you will hyperventilate with Ben as he must escape a killer while he is some 60 feet above ground. But I grossly digress. I'm telling you too much. I'm hopeful you'll read not just this book but the entire series. It really is worth it.

This is the third book in the Ben Kincaid series. He's a lawyer in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He has a single practice and is barely making ends meet when he is approached by the Apollo Corporation to be one of their in-house attorneys. Despite concerns from his paralegal Christina, he decides to take the job for the financial security.
Ben is greeted with open arms and effusive praise by the head of the legal department. Other lawyers aren't so excited to see him. The firm is filled with rivalries, back-stabbing, and sexism. And Ben's idealism doesn't look like it makes him a good fit for the company. His first job is a case where the company is being sued because a faulty design has caused the death of a young man. Luckily for Ben, the lawyers the victims hired is not at all competent and Ben quickly wins the case.
But then a fellow attorney is murdered, and his body is found in Ben's car outside his apartment. Ben is given a week by the Chief of Police to find the real murderer, or the Chief will have him arrested. Ben has to dig into relationships and rivalries to find out who murdered his fellow attorney.
Meanwhile, the Tulsa police are very busy trying to find a serial killer who is leaving headless and handless bodies of teenage girls around town. Ben's investigation and the police investigation do come together eventually.
I enjoyed this book and really liked Ben who was a hard-working, smart, and ethical attorney. The side cast were also well-developed characters. Even though this is the third in the series and only the first I have read, I didn't feel like I was missing anything. I am tempted to read earlier and later books in this series because I enjoyed the characters and the writing.

I bought this book because it was a ballantine publication and ever since I reading the Garden of the Finzi Continis, I always thought that books form the publishing house were unique and well written. I might have been mistaken, but am glad to hold that very naive notion because it has enabled me read books I would not have read for a very long time. Here, is a book that is fast paced and to those lovers of thrillers, it is a page turner. Most of the characters are unlikable, especially those who practice in the prestigioApollo Consortium. It is there that most of the action develops and takes place. A group of them who belong to the murderers Kindergarten Club which is notorious for organizing and having sexual orgies with teenegers is the subject of a police investigations following the deaths of five teenage girls and one of their own, Hamel Howard. If you enjoy court room drama, you might get a bit of that too through Ben Kincaid, a former prosecution attorney. After a brief period in private practice, he realised that he is deep in debt. So, when he gets a job with Apollo Consortium, he is hard pressed to accept it to the chagrin of his friends, Mike, Christina, and Jones who think that he is being deceived by the allure of money and wealth which comes at a very big price when working for such big corporations. That turns out to be and it is not long before Ben becomes the main suspect in the murder of Hamel Howard which appears to be a cover up and a frame up by Apollo Consortium. The novel is well written, informative, suspensful, and interesting.

The start of "Deadly Justice" gave me a very strong sense of deja vu. For a while I was convinced I had read it before, then I realised it's the plot - it is generic, picked from the pile.
But it is uncannily similar to some book I have read before.
Ben Kincaid has been offered a dream job with a stellar salary - Ben can't believe his good luck! Of course it will mean an end to his private work. Christina, however, seems unconvinced.
Then, just two days into his new job, he finds a body in his office, one that mysteriously disappears before the police arrive
When the body finally surfaces it seems to prove that Ben was involved in the murder. With his time as a free man running out Ben has to find the killer.
He uncovers a link between the death and that of four unsolved murders of teenage prostitutes.
There's also a sub plot involving a dodgy component manufactured by his new employer, Apollo Corporation.
It's mostly a light read, despite some gruesome details. Overall, as with the previous books in the series, "Deadly Justice" is enjoyable but not particularly memorable. That's not a criticism, enjoyable books are not easy to find.
Oddly, that same feeling of deja vu returned towards the end of the book. Maybe I did read it a long time ago?
3 Stars.
P.S. I started the next book in the series "Perfect Justice" and finally realised that I have read at least these two books before.

Deadly Justice
Interesting adventure for Ben Kincaid. He now agrees to go back to a large law firm hoping to get out of debt and brings along Christina McCall as his sidekick. As usual Ben gets involved in the shanangins at the firm which end up involving his ex brother in law Mike Morelli. Great storyline.

Corporate lawyers. This is the first time I've ever been able to finish a book like this. Normally, I avoid them like the plague, and I'm one of those people who avoids the plague.
I enjoyed the characters and we didn't have to spend too much time in the courtroom. It was a reasonably pleasant way to blow an hour or two. For me, for this genre, that counts as a huge success.

The underlying stories were good and worth much more than one star. However, I have never seen so many typos in a single book as was the case in this book. Absolutely disgraceful that this book got to market in this dreadful state. The publishers (Head of Zeus) should hire a bunch of three-year olds, who would undoubtedly do a far better job of proofreading than their current staff.

I had book hangover and decided I needed to read something lightweight that actually had a plot. This fit the bill. There are two plot lines that, of course, come together. I won’t say this is a “cleverly” conceived or constructed book because it was weak and thready in areas , but it was good “by the pool” reading.

Excellent!
This was another good story in the series. Poor Ben ends up with trouble every where he turns. But being a smart lawyer is what's important to him which makes him impervious to corruption. The core players in the series continue to develop and I like them.

Deadly Justice is entertaining but I thought I would see more of courtroom scene or legal battle. So far, this is more like a lawyer sleuth. Anyway, kinda like Ben so I might try again and hope for real legal thriller.

Ben Kincaid, One of My Favorites
Even though I've read many of William Bernhard it's books, the Ben Kincaid are my favorites. I was surprised to discover I had missed this one.

Interesting series
I enjoy the characters and the plots remain varied enough to make each story different. You have to like the Ins and outs of the legal field

"Ben Kincaid is not a superstar attorney. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, there are only a few lawyers who win headlines and big bucks. So when the notorious Apollo Consortium offers Ben a job as their in-house counsel, he takes it--for the money. The violence in the streets outside the Apollo is nothing compared to the backstabbing politics of the firm. And when Ben wins his first case, he unwittingly sets up some bitter rivalry with his colleagues--rivalry that will culminate in a fellow lawyer's dead body and Ben charged with murder."

Fun to read this author for the first time even though I stumbled onto Book 3 of a long line in this series. The writer lives here in Tulsa and his courtroom/lawyer dramas take place in Tulsa and the surrounding area.
I purchased two other books by this same author and will read them even though they are out of order. Maybe I'll get lucky and come across Book 1 and 2 at some point.

I had trouble with this one. I couldn't see Ben Kincaid taking this job as corporate lawyer. Some minor editing problems, like four strikes on a batter in the softball game, were unwelcome distractions. The identification of sexism in the workplace as a significant problem was important to highlight, but was don in a pretty heavy handed way. Some of the male lawyers seemed a little stereotypic and the women came off a little weak, except of course for Christina. The knife that wasn't in the oak tree was a bit annoying as it seemed a contrived way to get the exciting "high course" confrontation for the finale. The best part of the story was the tragic aspect of the teenage prostitutes and their hopelessness. This was handled very well. The introduction of the police sergeant that wanted to be in homicide was a nice touch and brought out more of Mike's personality. This one was not the home run for me that the first two in this series were, but it didn't put me off reading more. I look forward to getting into "Perfect Justice" this week.

Too many stereotypes: bad lawyers, weak women, sexual harassment in the workplace (this is not set in the 60s), bad guy always in the right place, dumb cops. Really, how can a cop clearing a building miss a SECOND DOOR in a room?
This one was very light reading, apart from the plight of the prostitutes. But even some of the hookers seemed to be "typical."
My ebook copy had numerous punctuation issues, including stray quotation marks, and spelling issues. Many times, the word "the" appeared as "me" and that made reading a bit of a challenge at times. A 3.5" diskette was described as a 3x5 diskette, making me marvel at how a rectangular diskette would fit into a drive.
I am giving up on the series after 3 books. There are so many better books out there (such as Steven Havill's, to name one).

Another good Ben Kincaid story - good dialogue, especially between Ben and his legal asst, Christine.

This is only the third book in the series but I am really enjoying this series. They are part legal thriller and part detective novel. I would say the balance is about 50/50. These books are very fast paced, it is pretty easy to go through these in about 3 or 4 sittings if you have the time and you are a reasonably fast reader. This one took me about 4 and a quarter sittings to get through. The characters are great and I find myself looking forward to the next book as soon as I get near the end of the current novel I am reading.
These are very enjoyable quick reads that are prefect for a lazy day at the beach, by the pool, by the campsite or whatever. If you like either detective stories and or legal thrillers (or better yet both) get the first book in the series and start reading!

I like the Ben Kincaid series. He isn't perfect, he's a bit of a clueless dork, but he has a quick mind and a big heart. In this book, Ben is asked to leave his struggling single practice and join a big firm. The lure of being able to pay off his debts and get a real paycheck overcomes his reluctance to give up his freedom, despite the advice he gets from his assistant Christine. And of course, Ben soon discovers someone murdered in his office, which eventually ties back to a series of murders of teen aged girls in Tulsa.
Overall, a good, entertaining read. It's fast paced and quick to get through.

I really enjoyed this book!
I think I've found a new favorite author! This is the third book in the Ben Kincaid series and I have read and really enjoyed them all. The characters are believable, interesting, and eccentric. The main characters are also very likeable. They are about a young lawyer named Ben Kincaid and his eccentric office staff and his ex-brother-in-law, who is a cop, and the many legal predicaments they get into. The dialogue is very real and humorous. The legal proceedings seem very true to life (although I don't know anything about legal proceedings). I can't wait to read the next book in the series!
