"A heady combination of Patricia Highsmith and Scott Turow, here’s psychological and legal suspense at its finest. Adam Mitzner’s masterful plotting begins on tiptoe and morphs into a sweaty gallop, with ambiguity of character that shakes your best guesses, and twists that punch you in the gut. This novel packs it. A terrific read!"

– Perri O’Shaughnessy

“Mitzner's assured debut...compares favorably to Presumed Innocent....Mitzner tosses in a number of twists, but his strength lies in his characters and his unflinching depiction of relationships in crisis. This gifted writer should have a long and successful career ahead of him.”

– Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Pulls you in deeper and deeper . . . It's hard to believe this is Mitzner's first novel. You will not be disappointed."

"More twists than a California cloverleaf interchange."

– Bookreporter

"Adam Mitzner combines the real world insights of an experienced litigator with the imaginative flair of a fine novelist to produce a page-turner with deeply flawed heroes, sympathetic villains, and totally unexpected twists. I loved it"

– Alan Dershowitz

"This noirish tale... is sure to keep you riveted from start to finish."

– The New York Observer
