About The Book

This riveting follow-up to A Conflict of Interest is a gritty, sophisticated thriller that will draw fans of Scott Turow and John Grisham into a world of relentless suspense.

Dan Sorenson was once a high-powered New York defense attorney but that was before a horrifying accident killed the two most important people in his life.

As he approaches rock bottom, Dan is unexpectedly offered the opportunity of a lifetime: defend an up-and-coming rapper who swears he’s innocent of the brutal slaying of his pop star girlfriend. Dan realizes that this may be his only hope to put his own life back on track, but as he delves deeper into the case, he learns that atonement comes at a very steep price.

Raves and Reviews

"A heady combination of Patricia Highsmith and Scott Turow, here’s psychological and legal suspense at its finest. Adam Mitzner’s masterful plotting begins on tiptoe and morphs into a sweaty gallop, with ambiguity of character that shakes your best guesses, and twists that punch you in the gut. This novel packs it. A terrific read!"

– Perri O’Shaughnessy

“Mitzner's assured debut...compares favorably to Presumed Innocent....Mitzner tosses in a number of twists, but his strength lies in his characters and his unflinching depiction of relationships in crisis. This gifted writer should have a long and successful career ahead of him.”

– Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Pulls you in deeper and deeper . . . It's hard to believe this is Mitzner's first novel. You will not be disappointed."

– seattlepi.com

"More twists than a California cloverleaf interchange."

– Bookreporter

"Adam Mitzner combines the real world insights of an experienced litigator with the imaginative flair of a fine novelist to produce a page-turner with deeply flawed heroes, sympathetic villains, and totally unexpected twists. I loved it"

– Alan Dershowitz

"This noirish tale... is sure to keep you riveted from start to finish."

– The New York Observer
