Exciting Book
21 Feb 2002
Format:Hardcover
I just finished reading this book and I really enjoyed it. I have read other books by Mr. Martel, and he is just getting better and better. I almost hated it to end because I knew I would have to say goodbye to Billy Strobe. Great character!!
I do have a small complaint though, although really more of a question for Mr.Martel. What happened to the cab and cab driver at the end of the story? For anyone who reads this, you will probably wonder the same thing. Otherwise......great book, great characters, and this is definitely one you should read.

An excellent, well crafted novel
3 Sep 2001
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I became a Martel fan after reading "The Alternate", but was not prepared for the level of excellence that this book presents. The off the wall beginning and ongoing plot twists are told with a humor and humanity that leave you reluctant to leave the story. Billy Strobe is a thoroughly original, totally engaging character,a sort of a cross between one with the strength, resolution and intelligence of "The Firm"'s protagonist, touched with a bit of the naive quality and integrity of a Forrest Gump.
The characters are well drawn, sympathetic and real, and the plot rolls.
I finished this one and turned it over to my wife, saying here you go,lucky you.

Eddie Larges, Retired Trial Lawyer
28 Nov 2001
Format:Hardcover
A book with more twists and turns than the streets of San Francisco, which is the setting for this latest John Martel thriller. A must read for all John Martel fans and anyone else with an interest in the legal thriller. I've read them all and this is probably Martel's best book to date.
