One of Lescroart's best tales yet." Chicago Tribune "Secrets and lies are the leitmotifs in Lescroart's 11th novela crisp, engaging thriller that could well be subtitled 'This Time It's Personal.' The novel's pacing is reminiscent of classic Ross Macdonald, where a week's worth of events are condensed into a few hours . . . [a] winning thriller." Publishers Weekly (starred review) "San Francisco attorney Dismas Hardy [is] at his most engaging here . . . a true star in the lawyer-hero firmament." Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Lescroart orchestrates a cadre of multi-dimensional characters through a plot full of political subterfuge and action without losing track of the subtlety of modern personal relationships." Library Journal "Plenty of satisfying twists in a machine-gun paced narrative before [a] breathless courtroom climax." Books Magazine (London) Delacorte Hardcover, 2000; Signet Paperback, 2001 |
