  • "Eigentlich ist John Pellam nur nach Maddox gefahren, um Bier und Chips für eine gemütliche Pokerrunde zu besorgen. Doch dann wird der Filmemacher aus Hollywood unvermutet Zeuge eines eiskalten Doppelmords. Und damit fangen seine Schwierigkeiten erst so richtig an: Die Staatsanwaltschaft setzt John mächtig unter Druck, weil sie glaubt, er könne den Auftraggeber des brutalen Verbrechens identifizieren. Und als John aus demselben Grund ins Visier der Mafia gerät, sieht er sich in einer scheinbar ausweglosen Klemme: Schweigen ist bestimmt nicht immer Gold, aber Reden wäre sein sicherer Tod ... "Der Plot klingt zunächst recht unspektakulär, doch die Psychologie des Romans macht ihn lesenswert. Mit dem schrulligen aber liebenswerten Pellam hat Deaver einen Charakter geschaffen, der Sympathien trägt, von dem wir bestimmt noch mehr zu lesen bekommen. Im Voraus dafür vielen Dank." Heidelberg aktuell "Der beste Autor psychologischer Thriller weit und breit!" The Times, London "Deaver schreibt meisterhaft konzipierte Thriller mit intelligenter, messerscharfer Logik." Publishers Weekly."
