Frank Turner Hollon is a writer deserving far more recognition and readers. His novels are like gems, bright and hard and durable. With a simple and direct writing style, he creates images that resonate, and then take up permanent residence in your consciousness. "A Thin Difference" is nominally a legal thriller, but it's so much more. If you haven't discovered this author, you're in for a rare treat.

Mark Twain once wrote, "I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead" meaning that saying what you need to in fewer words is more difficult than to say it in many words. Frank Turner Hollon writes short books, but in those fewer pages, he writes a more satisfying story than most authors do in twice the space.
His books are somewhat hard to quantify. This is a courtroom drama, but it's so much more. As always, it is the psyche of his characters that is truly compelling, and it is the deep understanding of the flawed human condition that keeps me coming back to his books.
