Phillip margolin books made into movies

Writers often live dull, maudlin lives filled with very little other than sitting before a computer screen. Phillip Margolin is the exception.

A rated chess player and collegiate wrestler, Margolin spent two years in Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer in the program’s infancy. After earning a degree from New York University School of Law, he began a wildly successful legal practice in which he argued before the Supreme Court, never allowed a client to be sentenced to death, won the freedom of two men wrongfully convicted of murder and revolutionized the way domestic violence cases were viewed in Oregon.

In the midst of his law career, Margolin published “Gone, But Not Forgotten,” a New York Times Bestseller that sold millions of copies, was published in over 30 countries, was audiobook of the year and became a television miniseries.

Over the last three decades, Margolin has become the beloved author of dozens of thrillers, remained a fixture on Bestseller Lists and is the second-best selling author in Oregon history.
