Helpful Score: 2
Here's another author worthy of wider recognition and readers; Sydney Bauer has two books published in the U.S. to date, "Undertow" and "Alibi." They are legal thrillers, with all the expected elements: page-turning fast pace, lots of red herrings and plot twists and turns, high courtoom drama, and a surprise ending. Both the books rise above the best-seller genre in many ways: the writing is definitely a cut or two above average, the characters live and stay with you after the book is finished, and there are complex ethical and moral issues that the legal system is poorly equipped to resolve. If you haven't yet discovered Sydney Bauer, you're in for a surprise and a treat!
