Book Review of "The Burning Man"  by Phillip Margolin

     Peter Hale, the son of Richard Hale, a four-year associate at Hale,
Greaves, Strobridg, Marquand, and Bartlett, has lived his life under the shadow
of his father. Despite having a high five-figure salary and fire-engine-red
Porsche, Peter was constantly trying to overcome the expectations of his high-
class lawyer of a  father, who was former president of the Oregon State Bar.
Handling only small-time cases did not present Peter with the opportunity to
outshine his father, who was also a second-team All-American football player and
National Champion wrestler, but when his father had a heart attack and could no

star, but at the Division II level for the Whitaker State football team.  Hale
became close with Mancini and met many other residents of Whitaker through Steve.
One being Steve's beautiful and intelligent fiance, Donna Harmon and her
slightly retarded brother Gary.  Just as things began to become settled for
Peter in Whitaker, he ran into some problems with Gary Harmon.  Peter had to
save him once from the police in a peeping incident and then became Gary's lead
attorney, under some influence from Steve Mancini, as Gary was charged with the
murder of a local college girl.
     The night of the murder, Gary had been at a local bar, the Stallion, and
