Industry Reviews "Mr. Baldacci, a Washington-based attorney, brings an insider's savvy to his tale of unfolding political scandal." New York Times Book Review - Jean Hanff Korelitz (02/25/1996)
"This book is a top-notch thriller that will simultaneously entertain and horrify....the fact that this is a debut novel should have John Grisham looking nervously over his shoulder." Rapport
"Fast-paced, authentic, and full of surprises." San Francisco Chronicle
"Lawyer-turned-novelist Baldacci cuts everyone's grass--Grisham's Ludlum's, even Patricia Cornwell's--and more than gets away with it." People
