Joel Goldman started writing thrillers when one of his former law partners complained to him about another partner. Joel told him they should write a murder mystery, kill the other partner in the first chapter and spend the rest of the book figuring out who did it. So that's what Joel did and he never looked back. That was in 1992.

His latest book, NO WAY OUT, is the third book in his series featuring former FBI Special Agent Jack Davis, following THE DEAD MAN, and SHAKEDOWN.

In SHAKEDOWN, Jack's world is coming apart and there is nothing he can do about it. One reason is a rare movement disorder that has come out of nowhere, causing him to shake when he should shoot. It's something Jack and Joel have in common. THE DEAD MAN continues Jack's struggles with the dreams that haunt his past and a serial killer who makes his victims' worst nightmares come true. In NO WAY OUT, Jack's search for two missing children leads him into a deadly web of deceit years in the making.

Joel became a ten-year overnight success with the publication of his first book, MOTION TO KILL, in 2002, introducing trial lawyer Lou Mason. Lou made his second appearance in 2003's Edgar-nominated THE LAST WITNESS. He managed to keep getting in and out of trouble in COLD TRUTH and DEADLOCKED, which was nominated for a Shamus award and has been optioned for film.

Sony Television optioned Joel's short story, "Knife Fight", published in the anthology THE PROSECUTION RESTS, for development as a series. Joel retired from his law practice in 2006.
