Revue de presse :

'Just when you thought there were no more changes to be rung on the legal thriller, Meltzer follows up his bestselling inside look at the Supreme Court (The Tenth Justice) with this sleek, suspenseful, only slightly unbelievable story about two young New York lawyers in love and danger. . . . Definitely compelling tale of legal and extralegal adventure'
Publishers Weekly

'A very aptly titled gripper that will have Grisham slapping his wife's wrist in pique over the breakfast toast when he discovers Melzter's plot for his second novel . . . Author Meltzer is an attorney himself, which lends the novel's dialogue a sparkling undercurrent of real-life chitchat, not to mention the mutual sabre-sharpening that readers will quickly pick up on and enjoy as a bonus'
Kirkus Reviews

"Races along...deftly written...haunting...Meltzer is so good."
- Entertainment Weekly

A gem of a plot...so strong...breezes along in 'high gear'. Highly
recommended."
- Chicago Tribune

Terrific...Reads like a Tracy-Hepburn movie directed by Sam
Peckinpah...complete with cliffhangers at the end of every chapter."
- Newsday

"Rachets up the tension."
- San Francisco Chronicle

"A truly scary ending."
- Newsday

"As he demonstrated in his first novel, The Tenth Justice...Meltzer has a
gift for revealing the heart-stopping intensity of legal systems under
extreme pressure."
- San Francisco Chronicle

"Meltzer does it again with...a different twist...The book is well-crafted
and will hold your interest -- just like John Grisham's books, but with a
Yankee twang."
- Chattanooga Free Press

"Meltzer comes back with an even stronger effort that should catch the eye
of every John Grisham devotee."
- Chicago Tribune

Quatri�me de couverture :

When faced with the choice of saving your own life or the life of the person you love the most, how do you choose?

Sara Tote, a Manhattan assistant D.A. is very much in love with her defense attorney husband, Jared, but is on the verge of losing her job. So her colleagues coerce her into taking a case marked for the star prosecutor in hopes of securing her future at the D.A's office. But the case is far more complicated--and deadly--than it first appears. Sara receives a threat: Win the case, or Jared will be killed. And it gets worse. Jared is strong-armed into defending the prime suspect, and he too is instructed to win at all costs or risk Sara's death. In court and at home, husband and wife go head-to-head while harboring the terrible secret of their motives. In a battle of rollercoaster emotions and painful betrayals, Jared and Sara must face the unthinkable truth: No matter who wins, the other dies.
