Industry Reviews "[THE HEARING] works so well not only because of Lescroart's narrative skills but because he so clearly knows San Francisco, knows its legal world and knows his characters." Washington Post - Patrick Anderson (06/17/2001)
"Like previous entries in this highly entertaining series, THE HEARING is a potboiler with great characters and a wonderful sense of place." Chicago Tribune - Chris Petrakos (05/21/2001)
