Críticas
"Worthy Brown's Daughteris a fast and absorbing read, and Margolin's law expertise makes the book's climax...an exciting moment indeed."--Seattle Times
"With plenty of action...the lively narrative will keep readers engrossed."--Library Journal
"Margolin captures both the haphazard legal theater--when judges ride the circuit, Portland's 'courthouse' is a loft on the third floor of the Coleman Barrel Company--and the daunting racism of the times."--Oregonian (Portland)
"The Old West comes alive in heart-wrenching, violent, and wicked racist color.... Legal thriller and western fans will stay with it to the last page.... Margolin's novel offers a compelling portrait of small town justice done right."--Booklist
"In New York Times bestselling author Phillip Margolin's first historical, recently widowed attorney Matthew Penny has come to newly-settled Oregon to start fresh. He stumbles into the most challenging case of his career when a former slave, Worthy Brown, asks him to save his teenage daughter."--Huffington Post, "Books I Want to Read Most in 2014" by Wendy Webb, author of The Vanishing
"The action is brisk and the villains are shifty...[t]his energetic tale does cover interesting regional history for readers who might be averse to picking up a book of nonfiction, but who are willing to follow Margolin in his break from the regular routine."--Bellingham Herald
"Margolin shines in recreating pioneer life .. . . there's legal wrangling, murder and romance, set against the backdrop of race and frontier life. . . . his scene-setting, knowledge of the frontier and relating of the hard task of the law make for an appealing read."--Kirkus Reviews
"Worthy Brown's Daughter reads something like Deadwood meets Twelve Years a Slave. The finale in the courtroom is as brilliant and exciting as any great legal drama.... [A] beautifully written story rooted in America's brutal history of slavery and racism."--Iron Mountain News
"[A] compelling tale of justice for sale... vibrant characters...bring the West to life.... If you like westerns or legal thrillers you will get both in Worthy Brown's Daughter."--Huffington Post
"Margolin. . . [and] allows passions to sway his heroes, and generates empathy toward his crooks . . . . [On] the courtroom floor, where Margolin is clearly at home, [there is] a satisfying, white-knuckle climax."--Publishers Weekly
Reseña del editor
One of a handful of lawyers in the new state of Oregon, recently widowed Matthew Penny agrees to help Worthy Brown, a newly freed slave, rescue his fifteen year old daughter, Roxanne, from their former master, a powerful Portland lawyer. Worthy's lawsuitsets in motion events that lead to Worthy's arrest for murder and create an agonizing moral dilemma that could send either Worthy or Matthew to the hangman.
