About the Author:
From Library Journal:
Colin Harrison is the author of six novels, including The Finder and The Havana Room. He lives in Brooklyn, New York with his wife, writer Kathryn Harrison, and their three children.
Written in the tradition of Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent ( LJ 6/1/87), Harrison's intelligent, relentlessy gripping first novel relates the struggles of an honest man awash in a sea of deceit and corruption. Already experiencing enormous psychological stress, assistant district attorney Peter Scattergood is assigned a high-profile double-murder case involving the mayor's nephew. As personal and professional strain increases, so does Peter's suspicion that the mayor is orchestrating a massive cover-up. Harrison's sharp plot mechanics exhibit none of the teething problems normally associated with debut suspense novels, and his ingenious use of a powerful, recurring subtext referred to in the book's title will please even the most discriminating reader. Vastly superior to Robert Ferrigno's recent The Horse Latitudes ( LJ 2/1/90). Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 12/89.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Mass market Special Reading Edition (ARC) First Avon Books Special Printing, January, 1991. (ISBN 0-380-71526-0) Good tight copy, page edges browning, good wrappers. Just as his marriage begins to crumble, Philadelphia Assistant D.A. Peter Scattergood is handed a sensational, politically-dangerous case. He has serious doubts about the defendant's guilt and as the case unravels, a very powerful man appears to be implicated. Scattergood's obsession with getting his wife back and his involvement with a sexually dominant female banker leads him to ever more reckless and violent behavior. The politics of crime and a crime of passion puts Peter to the test, a test he's not sure he can pass or even survive. "One of the hottest first novels to come along since Scott Turow's 'Presumed Innocent'." "Philadelphia Inquirer" In this intensely felt fist novel, Harrison heroically balances the philosophical drama of a man's crisis of faith with the puzzle-narrative of a legal whodunit." Marilyn Stasio, 'The New York Times Book Review." When faced with the prospect of pronouncing upon this splendidly serious, utterly entertaining crime novel debut, one is tempted to say the words, 'Move over, Scott Turow, and stop there." Michele Slung, "The Washington Post." "Both suspenseful and unpredictable to the very last page." "Chicago Tribune" "Exceptionally solid debut thriller.intelligent, absorbing and satisfying." "The Milwaukee Journal". Novel. Seller Inventory # 3e1ed3f868398e37f96f5914accbc2d2
