Paul Goldstein is the Lillick Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and is widely recognized as one of the country's leading authorities on intellectual property law. He is regularly included in The Best Lawyers in America and testifies before congressional committees and international government meetings on intellectual property issues. A Patent Lie is the sequel to his first novel, Errors and Omissions. A New York native, he now lives outside San Francisco.
John Grisham made the contemporary legal thriller into a bestselling genre. Goldstein has transformed the genre into an art form. -- Dallas Morning News Fresh and original. --Sue Grafton A complex story, very well told, of a gray and shifting universe in which most things are not what they seem. -- San Jose Mercury News Smart, challenging. . . . Among the novel's pleasures are [Goldstein's] insights into lawyers and the games they play. -- The Washington Post Book World Timely and fascinating. . . . Gives readers interested in the drama of a high-value legal case a great reward for their attention. --Alan Cheuse, NPR's All Things Considered
