Order of Joel Goldman Books

Joel Goldman is an American novelist of legal thriller and crime fiction novels. He writes the Lou Mason and Alex Stone series. Before becoming an author, Joel spent 28 years as a trial lawyer. He began writing when a law partner complained about a fellow partner, so Joel suggested writing a murder mystery, kill him off in the first chapter and spend the rest of the novel figuring out who did it. Joel is a lifelong resident of Kansas City.
