Synopsis

Book by Brad Meltzer

A propos du livre

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

Dead Even, the second electrifying thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer (The Tenth Justice) poses the blood-chilling question: How far would you go to save the one you love? Meltzer, who occupies an honored place among the top names in the thriller profession—the legal thriller and Washington D.C. intrigue specialists (Grisham, Baldacci, Martini, Turow, Lescroart) as well as Patterson, Kellerman, Deaver, and other masters of mainstream suspense—comes back strong with Dead Even, as adversarial husband and wife lawyers battle in the courtroom, each knowing that the other’s very life depends on the verdict.
