Publisher's Notes
First Line: "What I have learned through my short and disastrous legal career is that in law, as in life, the only rational expectation is calamity."
Industry Reviews
"Lashner melds a special kind of procedural investigation with an unusual and engrossing courtroom drama...[and] sustains a rich and nourishing flow of surprises, manipulated by an interestingly seamy case of characters on both sides of the law. It is quite a dazzling debut."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Charles Champlin (06/11/1995)
"What makes 'Hostile Witness' especially remarkable is Lashner's sprawling, colorful narrative. In addition, the author's portraits of Mafia hit men, sleazy politicians, desperate lawyers and overworked detectives all have freshness and vitality."
Chicago Tribune Books - Chris Petrakos (05/21/1995)
"If every new thriller had to go before a judge and jury, most of them would be found guilty of imitation and repetition. Not so with 'Hostile Witness', which earns a loud 'not guilty' of sounding like the rest and is definitely guilty of keeping me up all night. William Lashner is a remarkable new writer--quick, witty, funny and authoritative. Very well done."
Nelson DeMille
"What a good book. A wonderful cast of characters, a raging whodunit frosted with sex, a burning page-turner, but more than all that, 'Hostile Witness' is, at last, a book that portrays the world of a lawyer. This ought to be a bestseller. Congratulations!"
