Anyone who read UNLAWFUL DEEDS know that Brody can write circles around many of the "household names" weighing down the bookshelves at the superstores. His second novel, BLOOD OF THE TRIBE, proves that his first critically acclaimed novel was no fluke. Brody has the specialised knowledge, talent, and insight to power many mysteries and thrillers to come.

Fans of UNLAWFUL DEEDS will be happy to see many of the characters that made the novel so memorable return in his new work. BLOOD OF THE TRIBE works just fine as a stand-alone, but is greatly enriched by a reading of the first novel. Give it a try!

I loved this book. It's rare to find a well written book which captivates your interest with its plot, while still maintaining rich, well developed characters. The crux of the story is a legal land dispute dating back to the time of the American Indians and colonial settlers - a dispute now worth billions of dollars! But rather than dazzle you with fast paced courtroom tactics, this book brings characters filled with personal histories and relationships that reel you into their world. The legal battle is fascinating in its own right. But in this case, the author almost uses the legal challenge as a backdrop on which to paint characters with interwoven sub-plots of their own. And to spice things up and really get your emotions involved, he works into the plot a murder - and one of the most evil antagonists that you could imagine. I was really fascinated with this "bad guy", because although he was undeniably evil, he was also so well developed that at times I almost felt sorry for him. He has such a painful history that you can almost understand why he is so "bad". Almost, but not quite. All in all, it's a great read!

Blood of the Tribe is a fast paced, smart thriller. The characters were so well developed! I don't think I've ever felt so much anger and disgust toward a villan. The plot was very intiguing and gave great insight into and interesting battle the Indians continue to fight. I would definitely recommend it.

A friend recommended this book and I was delighted....I read it in one sitting! I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys legal mysteries!
