Dead Even (Paperback, 2nd edition)

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.
