Reviews"Mr. Turow's prose is powerful ... a tough, vivid urban poetry, singing of ambition and corruption.... an arresting performance." -- The New York Times "Though every element of the novel is polished and professional, the charisma of Mack's narration is its triumph. Add that to a taut, twist-filled plot, expert pacing, colorful and well-rendered supporting characters, and an appealing whiff of larceny, and Turow surpasses Grisham hands down." -- Publishers Weekly "His legions of fans surely won't miss the chance to see Turow as they've never seen him before." -- Kirkus Reviews, Mr. Turow's prose is powerful ... a tough, vivid urban poetry, singing of ambition and corruption.... an arresting performance., Though every element of the novel is polished and professional, the charisma of Mack's narration is its triumph.
