Dead Even by Brad Meltzer
Sara Tate is a prosecuting attorney in Manhattan; her husband, Jared Lynch, is a rising star in a Wall Street firm. They have a happy marriage - until one day they find themselves on opposite sides of the courtroom. Worse, they are threatened by the parties on each side. And one of them will die.
'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 Sleek, suspenseful...definitely compelling. -Publishers Weekly Deftly written dialogue and characters. -Entertainment Weekly A page-turner. -The Oakland Press 'An absolute page-turner ... [A] shocking Catch-22 situation' News-Herald (Detroit) 'Gets the blood pumping' The New York Times 'Breakneck ... an action-packed read' Mail on Sunday 'A great story with good writing and lashings of black comedy' Peterborough Evening Telegraph 'Meltzer has really come into his own as a formidable force in the legal thriller genre ... A rocking good read that will keep you ripping through the pages until the very last' - ? Magazine, Dublin 'Sparky, sexy, and above all, a new template for a document entitled pageturner ' - The List 'Watch out John Grisham - there's a young pretender out there. The excellent thriller DEAD EVEN ... has more double crosses and ruthless villains than an episode of Dallas. Great' - Prima
