A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'If you like court room dramas rush out and buy this one. It's one of the finest I've read this year with a plot that corkscrews one way and another before taking your breath away in the finale. A rock-solid plot with fascinating characters, it had a wonderful somersault ending that makes it a truly satisfying thriller' (Daily Mail)

'Smart and well-executed . . . plenty of realistic behind-the-scenes courtroom finagling . . . a great book for summer reading' (Toronto Globe and Mail)

'Not since Anatomy of a Murder has a novel so vividly captured the real life of criminal lawyers in the midst of a high-stakes trial. This is a book that every lawyer, law student, and law professor should, no must, read' (Edward L. Greenspan. Q.C)

'A very good book. Rotenberg is a master of legal mystery craftsman in the rank of writers such as Scott Turow' (Mysteries and More)

'A compulsive page-turner . . . it's the author's defence counsel sensibility that powers his novels, his insistence that every story is intensely personal, the way in which his humanizing of seemingly obvious killers raises doubt for the reader as it does at the same pace for the jury' (Maclean's)

'This is a legal thriller of great pace and tension. Rotenberg knows how to bring a cast of characters to life' (It's a Crime . . .)

'Gritty and engaging. It had me hooked from the moment I started it, and wouldn't let go. Wonderful stuff!' (S. J. Watson, author of Before I Go to Sleep)

'A few lawyers are really expert in managing cases - especially criminial cases in the courtroom. A small percentage of these are very good at making trials come alive. Robert Rotenberg is one of the few, along with Scott Turow, David Baldacci, John Lescroat. His Guilty Plea is a crackling good read. Plan to keep turning pages late into the night' (F. Lee Bailey)

'Another excellent legal thriller, the follow-up to crime novel Old City Hall with the same bunch of characters, each with their own intriguing back-story. Each chapter ends in a cliff-hanger. Works equally well as a standalone' (Bookseller)

Praise for Old City Hall:

'Breathtaking . . . A tightly woven plot and a rich cast of characters make this a truly gripping read'

(Jeffery Deaver)

Présentation de l'éditeur

On the morning his headline-grabbing divorce trial is due to begin, multi-millionaire Terrance Wyler is found dead on his kitchen floor. He's been stabbed seven times. Detective Ari Greene arrives minutes before the international press and finds Wyler's four-year-old son asleep upstairs. When Wyler's ex-wife shows up at her lawyer's office with a bloody knife, it looks as if the case is over.

But Greene soon discovers the Wyler family has secrets they'd like to keep hidden, and they're not the only ones. And if there's one thing Greene knows, it's that the truth is never simple . . .
