Recensione:

Margolin is another in the list of American lawyers turned crime writers- and a good one... An exciting, well plotted mystery. (SUNDAY TIMES)

These days it takes a truly accomplished storyteller to keep ever more demanding thriller readers on the edge of their seats. But Philip Margolin will have you teetering towards the floor with this masterful crime cliffhanger in the John Grisham idiom. (LIVERPOOL ECHO)

Highly recommended. (BOOKS MAGAZINE)
