Meltzer, author of the bestselling The Tenth Justice, cleverly
mixes a hip and witty grasp of character with the mechanics of a
crackling legal thriller. Sara Tate has just begun her new job as
prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. She is
married to Jared Lynch, who is about to become a partner at a top
Wall Street law firm. When they find themselves taking opposing
sides in the same case, the result is not just a threat to their
lively marriage, but to their lives as well. The couple find
themselves in danger from parties to the case on both sides, with a
terminal prospect: no matter who loses, the other dies. It takes
some skill to make a distinctive novel in the over-crowded
Grisham-style thriller stakes, and Meltzer wisely avoids sounding
like any of his rivals. In this excellent book, he shows a richness
of characterization that is more skilful than many better-known
writers in the genre. (Kirkus UK)
Sara Tate is a prosecuting attorney with the Manhattan DA's office;
her husband, Jared Lynch, a rising star in a Wall Street Law firm.
They have a wonderful, happy, high-spirited, non-competitive
marriage - until they accidentally find themselves on opposite
sides of the courtroom, and their relationship starts to fall
apart. Worse, they are threatened by interested parties on each
side of the case. The result is obvious: one of them will lose. The
other one will die.
