Reviews for Dead Even
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
'Just when you thought there were no more changes to be rung on the legal thriller, Meltzer follows up his bestselling inside look at ... Read morethe 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 Breakneck . . . an action-packed read
