Quotes

"Levine scores with this witty and complex legal thriller. The author never strains credibility and perfectly balances the legal plotline with his lead's personal health and relationship struggles. This winner works even for those new to the series." Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Our hero's clashes with a phalanx of eloquent, profoundly evil corporate types are worth rereading. Another mark of a fine novel is the treatment of secondary characters. Levine's are articulate and sassy. A treat for fans of the offbeat." Booklist

"Fast paced, smooth and soulful. A winner!" —Jacqueline Winspear, New York Times bestselling author of the Maisie Dobbs series
