Reviews

Praise for John Lescroart's Dismas Hardy novels "Today's best legal thriller series."-Lee Child "Grisham and Turow remain the two best-known writers in the genre.

His name is John Lescroart."-Chicago Sun-Times "Lescroart's books are high entertainment, with accurate legal and police procedures leading the action."-Sacramento Bee "A gifted writer....I read him with great pleasure."-Richard North Patterson "Blistering courtroom sequences....the undisputed king of the legal thriller."-Providence Sunday Journal "Unfolds like a classic Law & Order."-Entertainment Weekly
