Booklist Review
Singer, the attorney-author of several solid legal thrillers, turns in another winner. Landon Reed used to be a football quarterback, until he fixed a couple of games to make some quick cash. He did his time, then went to law school, and now he's joined a legal firm run by the affable Harry McNaughten, who is soon killed in a mugging gone wrong. When more members of the firm are killed, Landon suspects these are not random tragedies but deliberate acts of murder. Landon is deeply affected by the man's death, and the reader shares his grief. As usual, Singer, also a pastor, nicely balances the crime drama with his exploration of Christian themes in this case, exploring a man's quest for redemption for past sins and the difficult decisions he must make when confronted with a choice between keeping his family safe and bringing a killer to justice. Singer's many fans will be lining up to read this one.--Pitt, David Copyright 2010 Booklist
Library Journal Review
While doing time in prison for fixing games, ex-football quarterback Landon Reed earned a law degree. When he gets out, there's only one man willing to take a chance on him-Harry McNaughten of McNaughten and Clay. Not long after, Harry is killed. It looks like a mugging gone wrong, but soon other members of the firm die as well. Landon races against the clock to find the killer. Is it a former client, or are the murders somehow tied to Landon's current case? VERDICT This riveting and thought-provoking legal thriller is sure to please Singer's (The Last Plea Bargain) fans and earn him new ones. Recommend it to those who appreciate Joseph H. Hilley.
